marketing, winning customers and building sales
financial planning and raising funds
demystifying the workings of the Internet, identifying its business uses and planning your own website.

With its practical guidance and accessible style, this book will help you ensure that setting up a business for the first time or expanding an existing business is a lucrative as well as an exciting venture.
