Thinking of starting your own business? Just under way with your own business and wondering what to do next? TEACH YOURSELF SETTING UP A SMALL BUSINESS is for you. It contains the advice you would expect to find in a book of this sort, but it also offers very practical hints from two people who have done it themselves.

TEACH YOURSELF SETTING UP A SMALL BUSINESS helps you to identify your product or service and consider the marketing and financing required, and suggests where to go for further advice.

Starting your own business can be a daunting prospect. In addition to helping with the everyday aspects of running a small business, the authors give guidance on specialised areas such as legal requirements, self assessment for income tax, opening a retail or office-based business, staff selection and marketing. "Key facts" boxes in each chapter give a checklist of important points at each stage.
