A good book about starting a business?

Question

I want a book that deals with the details of starting and running a business; things like legal and financial considerations. I want to become au fait with the nitty gritty.

I don't want a 'self help' book that trains your attitude and confidence with ego boosting mantras. You know the sort.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Lloyds TSB - "Small business guide" Sara Williams
"An essential for many small businesses" - Daily Mail

Personally I've found it to be a good read. Starts at the very beginning of the idea process, looks at premises, building the image, your rights and responsibilities an employer.

Answer 2

There's great books on this over at any BArnes & Noble bookstore in their crafts/art section. They can do a search for you on their computer too, in case there are more in the business section as well.

Answer 3

I believe there is a Bussinesses for Dummies book available.
If there is be sure to check it out. They are excellent and have helped me a lot with whatever I wanted to learn.

Don't be discouraged by the title :-)
