The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business, by home-based attorney Barbara Weltman, provides the beginning entrepreneur with a blueprint for success in the blunt but whimsical style readers have come to expect from these types of handbooks. Basic information on financing, system setup, and separating business from pleasure is combined with specific details on taxes, marketing, and critical issues such as zoning laws and insurance to create a helpful (but never heavy handed) guide to starting and operating a profitable enterprise. Also included are discussions on franchises and other existing business opportunities.
