About this title

Synopsis

Export Proof is a handbook for building or buying a trade-based service business that creates good paying local jobs that cannot be outsourced. Distilled from fifteen years of business adventure and some expensive lessons, Doug Frey's functional, step-by-step recipe for recreating the secret sauce that grew Desert X-Ray to over $100 million in annual sales will give you the confidence to start and run your own business. His “been there, done that” perspective, combined with anecdotes and down-to-earth personality, make the book feel like a conversation with a mentor. This clear and simple guide for buying or growing your business covers the complicated accounting and legal steps in simple straightforward terms. Export Proof also discusses building a culture for success in the workplace.
