Review: Good to get you thinking - This is a good book to get you thinking about what you need to consider in starting a business. No one book is going to give you all the answers but I have found this one has got me thinking about things I had not considered. Best of all it is an easy read, covering the highlights and letting you drill down to the areas you don't know enough about and seeing some of the things you don't need to consider. Where it covers thing about health inspections and you are not selling food you can skim over and may pick up something useful but again this is not the only book you will need but it will provide the ideas. Review: New business necessity - If you're considering starting a business but you don't know the first thing. This is the book for you. It breaks everything down into layman's terms and it's a very easy read. It also explains to you how to start up your business without needing a lot of expensive computer programs or even a computer. Many of the business startup books out there over complicate how to start a business. This is a perfect book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,582,090 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #307 in Bookkeeping #416 in Starting a Business (Books) #1,752 in Entrepreneurship (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 393 Reviews | ## Images ![Small Time Operator: How to Start Your Own Business, Keep Your Books, Pay Your Taxes, and Stay Out of Trouble - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81f5cespI+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good to get you thinking *by C***N on February 23, 2020* This is a good book to get you thinking about what you need to consider in starting a business.

This is a perfect book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased with our purchase *by J***N on December 18, 2015* We purchased this book for my husband's friend and co-worker that is a welder who is interested in possibly branching out and starting his own business. The reviews appeared to be mixed on this book so I was a little hesitant to place the order, but per the description the book seemed to contain everything that we were looking for. Once the book arrived I flipped through and read a few snippets and to me, someone who is not a welder but does have a great deal of background in small business, the book seemed to give sound advice. We gave this to my husband's friend a few days ago and he was thrilled with the gift. If you know of any welders that are interested in learning more about having their own business opportunity then I would say this book is the perfect gift for them. We are very pleased with our purchase.
