For almost 20 years and under its previous title as the Lloyds TSB Small Business Guide, this book was the start up bible for over a million people. Last year this bestselling guide was rebranded as the FT Guide to Business Start-Up. The ever valuable FT branding has catapulted this already successful book even higher in the charts. The FT Guide to Business Start Up remains the only small business guide to be updated annually, making it the most up-to-date resource and reference book for anybody serious about starting and growing their own business.

The fully updated 2006/2007 edition of the FT Guide to Business Start Up takes you quickly and simply through finance, tax and law. This edition has been completely revised to reflect the latest financial and legal changes in employment law regulations and budget changes for Tax and VAT. This essential guide also offers valuable advice on all of the crucial areas of running a business, and this advice has also been fully updated to reflect today’s business environment. Areas covered include the minefields of recruiting, premises, marketing, sales, pricing and people management - everything an entrepreneur has to tackle to succeed.

Starting a business can feel risky – but this bang-up-to-date guide covers all the bases and will ensure both you and your business are heading for success.
