Description
Are you ready to embark on the thrilling, yet daunting, journey of starting a business? Is it on your bucket list? Have you been dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur, free from the shackles of the 9-5 rat race? Or you may have a different reason for wanting to take the plunge. But you keep putting it off because the whole idea seems so overwhelming?
Part of the reason why so many people give up is that they don’t know where to start. Well, you start at the beginning. The Basics of Starting a Business gives you a no-nonsense guide to starting a business from scratch, whether you want to open a store, be an online whizz, or do something else entirely.
This book lays it down in easy-to-understand terms, with a friendly, relatable tone. I want to help you tick the right boxes, not lecture you!
You will learn the following:
- How to find your passion to keep you on track when life throws you lemons
- Why you need the right mindset from the start
- The pros and cons of common business ideas, to help you find your niche
- All about researching your competitors and working out whether there is space in the market
- The financial points you need to work out, and easy ways to do it
- How to put together the best business plan to get you on the starting blocks
- Why you need capital and how to find it (without robbing a bank)
- The things you need to know about the government, accounting, and legal requirements
- The importance of careful branding and marketing and how to stand out amongst the crowd
- Why there’s no shame in asking for help
- The art of planning to cover all bases, without falling asleep out of boredom
It’s simple. You can either go for it and see what happens or sit on your sofa and think about ‘what if.’ There is no fun in ‘what if.’ Aside from anything else, ‘what if’ doesn’t make you rich. Your business idea just might.
You can do it with the right attitude, help when you need it, and the proper guidance. Just follow the steps, remember your ‘why,’ and don’t be too proud to ask for help when you need it.
When you break it down, starting a business is well within your reach. Let The Basics of Starting a Business show you how!

This is a cleverly written business book for anyone starting a business. The steps are well organized and easy to follow. I like the homework session for a type of practice of what you have learned to help hard wire new knowledge. The author does a thorough job in reviewing the types of agreements and insurances, which some people may not always think of. There were also helpful resources provided for outsourcing and software needs. This is a great business start up resource that has everything you will need for success.
