This book is for everyone who has ever thought about striking out on their own. The ideas and advice given are for low-outlay projects which could start in a small way and have the potential to grow into something bigger and more financially rewarding. Based on the author's popular course and on the experiences of successful part-time business owners, the book suggests different ideas for part-time businesses, shows you how to research the market, prepare a business plan to attract backing, and avoid any legal loopholes and pitfalls. Barrie Hawkins covers practicalities such as choosing premises, taking on staff, using sub-contractors, tax and VAT, and common law. He then shows you how to get publicity for your new business, how to advertise and sell your product or service.
