About this title

Review

"Small Time Operator" is head and shoulders above all the other business help books, but there's nothing 'small time' about it. It's complete, and it belongs on your desk.--American Association of Small Business Employers

From the Back Cover

Written for small businesses, self-employed individuals, employers, professionals, independent contractors, home businesses, and Internet businesses, Small Time Operator is the most popular business start-up guide ever. In clear, easy-to-understand language, the author covers getting permits and licenses; how to finance a business; finding the right business location; creating and using a business plan; choosing and protecting a business name; deciding whether to incorporate; establishing a complete bookkeeping system; hiring employees; federal, state, and local taxes; buying a business or franchise; dealing with--and avoiding--the IRS; doing business on the Internet; handling insurance, contracts, pricing, trademarks, patents, and much more. This new edition features sections on surviving the Global Information Grid--or GIG--economy. There are hundreds of thousands of newly self-employed individuals operating in this new, on-demand economy, but unfortunately the great majority of these workers have zero experience or knowledge about self-employment. This book will provide on-demand workers with everything they need to know to not only survive, but truly thrive in the modern economy.
