Summary
From opening day to tax day, this is the all-in-one book you need!
Small business owners are regularly confronted by a bewildering array of legal questions and problems. Ignoring them can lead to disaster -- but with lawyers typically charging $200-$300 an hour, calling one to answer routine legal questions can be a fast track to the poorhouse.
Fortunately, you have a better alternative. Legal Guide for Starting & Running a Small Business clearly explains the practical and legal information you need to:
- raise start-up money
- choose between a sole proprietorship, partnership or LLC
- get licenses and permits
- buy or sell a business or franchise
- negotiate a favorable lease
- insure your business
- hire independent contractors safely
- understand small business tax rules
- pick and protect a good name
- resolve legal disputes
- adopt the best customer policies
- enter into strong contracts
- cope with financial problems
The 10th edition is completely updated and revised to provide the latest regulations, tax numbers and business realities. It also provides a start-up checklist, an expanded discussion about choosing a business structure, updates to bankruptcy law -- and much more.
