Small Business Handbook

The main aim of this handbook is to help you administer your business and make it less of a chore. For those going into business for the first time, or those already in business, this book tells you in short easy-to-grasp chapters what you need to know to keep you on the straight and narrow. Whether it s a simple introduction to the generalities of business law, or what you have to know if you employ people, or how to keep on the right side of the taxman, this handbook is a useful tool to help you. A second aim of this book is to help you run your business efficiently: keeping tabs on the finances; interviewing new employees; keeping employees happy. Plus a whole range of issues that nearly all business people encounter from time to time, unaware that there are these helpful guidelines to hand. Most business management books are full of advice, but they lack templates to show you how you actually go about the tasks they suggest. This book is different; it provides the tools you need: tips, templates and checklists to help you run your business smoothly. Covers: Running a business; Buying a business; Business law; Employing people; Insurance; Selling a business; More than 60 management tips, templates and checklists. ‘I helped write this book, because I needed the information it contains on my bookshelf!’ Hugh Williams, co-author and Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.
