Getting Legal and Other Professional Help Appendix: How to Use the Downloadable Forms on the Nolo Website Index Brief Description: Everything you need to venture into self-employment, as a freelancer or a business owner and operator. From planning and bookkeeping to marketing and more, The Small Business Start-Up Kit has you covered. Review Quotes: Author comments: I love helping people who want to take their careers into their own hands by creating their own ventures. From studying law and small business to being self-employed for 20-some years, I have developed a systematic approach to building ventures big and small. In this book I break down the major systems that every business person needs to master, and offer strategies to grow your business in line with your own goals and vision. There's no one-size-fits-all formula to starting a business, so I try to offer guidance that does not assume what your goals are and provide tools that empower readers to pursue their vision, on their terms. "Peri Pakroo has created the perfect legal resource for small business owners who want to create a strong, viable and ethical business. It will save you time, energy and legal fees!" Pamela Slim, author, Escape from Cubicle Nation and Body of Work
"Peri walks you through many of the most intimidating aspects of running a small business with solid, tested strategies for success." Damian Taggart, Chief Business Development Officer, Meow Wolf
" The Small Business Start-Up Kit not only helped me launch my multifaceted business both practically and successfully, it helped me appropriately prepare for that launch (and guided me through those first several months of confusion, uncertainty, and excitement). Peri generously offers her experience and expertise to readers as she clearly addresses everything from choosing the right business name to paying taxes to hiring employees. I could not have opened my art gallery or formalized my freelance services without this book, nor would I dare embark on any other business ventures without it!"
