The SOHO* Desk Reference: A Practical A to Z Guide for Entrepreneur

Small, entrepreneurial companies have historically been the ultimate drivers of the American economy. There are now 26 million small businesses in the U.S., but their failure rate is extremely high and entrepreneurs know that they need all the help they can get.

Organized in an alphabetical format, from "Accounting" to "Zoning", this comprehensive, authoritative and practical work includes more than 500 entries on a wide range of subjects of concern to entrepreneurs. Each entry also offers a list of appropriate associations, as well as sources of additional information. The SOHO Desk Reference promises to be the No.1 reference work entrepreneurs will turn to in order to help them succeed in small business.

Be your own boss, quit the commute--sounds so good, so right. But in the quiet of your own office (or study, or garage), with your feet up on your desk, there are a few bits of information you seem suddenly to want to know: Blue Sky laws, escrow, Keogh plans, public domain, venture capital, maybe even the difference between bankruptcy chapters 7 and 11. Especially useful for hiring employees, dabbling in the stock market, or preparing for taxes, The SOHO Desk Reference is an A-Z for entrepreneurs with more than 500 lucid entries of small business practicalities and wisdom.
