Review:

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business, by home-based attorney Barbara Weltman, provides the beginning entrepreneur with a blueprint for success in the blunt but whimsical style readers have come to expect from these types of handbooks. Basic information on financing, system setup, and separating business from pleasure is combined with specific details on taxes, marketing, and critical issues such as zoning laws and insurance to create a helpful (but never heavy handed) guide to starting and operating a profitable enterprise. Also included are discussions on franchises and other existing business opportunities.

From the Back Cover:

In this age of corporate take over after corporate take over, job security isn't something that people take for granted anymore. In fact, more and more people are deciding that it's just as risky to stay with a company than to strike out on their own. With The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Business at Home, Second Edition you get expert, savvy advice on how to make that leap into a home-based startup with ease. This book contains information on launching your business online and how ecommerce isn't the wave of the future--it's now things are being done right now--electing the perfect venture, getting customers and keeping them, and much more.
