Many people dream of starting and running a business of their own but often do not know HOW to start. Entering the small business field as an independent contractor, freelancer, sole proprietor, or consultant is not a single decision but a series of steps, each one bringing you closer to the day your enterprise is up and running, competing for customers, and making money. However, there are many questions to consider before opening your business. How will you organize and register your business? Is your business plan adequate? How will you obtain financing? These are just a few of the questions that The Complete Guide to Working for Yourself answers. You will learn about business operations, licensing, laws, finances, how to hire employees, marketing and advertising, location, taxes, and much more. This comprehensive book will guide you through starting your own business and address any issues or concerns that you may have. The companion CD-ROM is not available for download with this electronic version of the book but it may be obtained separately by contacting Atlantic Publishing Group at sales@atlantic-pub.com.
