In addition to standard start up business advice, this book offers guidance from a range of women entrepreneurs, and points to resources like women's business centers and micro-lenders. The book comes with a CD containing useful forms including: cash flow projections, break-even analysis and an interactive calculator to help you do financial projections.

*phew* Took me forever to read because I was carefully crafting notes on the side and really trying to absorb as much as I could. Great book!

This book was very helpful. It gives a pretty good overview of the basics you should consider when looking at starting your own business. Obviously, it is not going to have everything you need, but this is an excellent place to start. Written in a straight forward, easy to understand way. Probably one I will be buying.

It seems that all small business books are created equally. However, this one does go a bit above and beyond the others. All the basics are the same, but this book does delve into taxes a bit more than the others. So far, this will be my first choice to open again as a reference.

Learned something to aid me in business taxes. And learned some other things I honestly THOUGHT I knew. Good read! Useful read!
