Synopsis

The all-in-one business law book

• save on business taxes
• get licenses and permits
• choose the right insurance
• negotiate contracts and leases
• avoid problems if you’re buying a franchise
• hire and manage employees and independent contractors
• attract and keep customers (and get paid on time), and
• limit your liability and protect your personal assets.

This new edition explains how to do all of these things, taking into account coronavirus implications. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or an LLC or corporation, a one-person business operating out of your home, or a company with a large staff leasing space, this book will help you start and run a successful business.
