A must read for every individual intending to start their own small business...

A Practical Guide to Setting up Your Business by Katherine Baines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is for intending, new or recent individuals starting out on the tricky road to commercial success. Having a great business idea for your new product or service is only a small, yet very crucial part, of setting up and running a successful business. However, there are many additional components you need to take into consideration, as well as a raft of skills to acquire, and knowledge to gain.
Ms Baines is a qualified accountant who started her own practice a couple of years back – she knows what she is talking about, and has her own considerable success to prove she cannot only talk-the-talk but also walk-the-walk. And her success has been widely recognised by her peers, and for which she has received several awards and commendations.
“How to …” books are a valuable addition to any entrepreneur's toolkit – it saves you doing loads of work yourself which has already been done by others. This book is no exception. Although not in-depth, and not just about accounting, it’s a great place to start before you commit yourself to a new start up business. Broken down into logical and manageable chunks, the book lays out all the areas you’ll need to address as you navigate your journey. A must read for anybody wanting to be a self-employed sole-trader, or form a partnership, or a limited company. Highly recommended.
