More About This Book

Overview

Women own 51% or more of U.S. businesses, according to a Center for Women’s Business research report released this year. By the same study, if women-owned businesses were their own country they would have the 5th largest GDP in the world.The Women’s Small Business Start Up Kit, written by the author of the bestselling The Small Business Start Up Kit, offers the same practical and concrete information relating to business start-up and management of the parent book while giving attention to the issues and concerns commonly reported by women entrepreneurs of every stripe—from independent consultants to artists to Fortune 500 seekers. It covers:choosing and developing the right business;drafting an effective business plan; government programs that give contract and loan-preferences to women-owned businesses; understanding and choosing a legal structure;clearing the bureaucratic start-up hurdles; taking the business online and developing E-business; tax basics of small business; balancing work and family / personal relationships; hiring and managing employees. The Women’s Small Business Start Up Kit retains its focus on women’s specific business-related issues without stereotyping them and never loses sight of the legal rules and fundamentals of starting and running a business. The book closes with a chapter on how and when to get help from lawyers, accountants and other financial professionals. The CD includes essential business forms and agreements.

Editorial Reviews

The Women's Small Business Start-Up Kit by Peri Pakroo is one of the best How-To business books I've ever read. It was so full of tips and instructions that I didn't feel that I had to go to any other source. I've always thought that Nolo's Business books were very useful, but with this one they have definitely surpassed themselves. I would recommend this to anyone even thinking about starting their own small business and in this uncertain economy, small business owners need all the help they can get. Kudos to Nolo and the author and thanks!

Let's Get Unbalanced: Digging into Work post by Peri Pakroo:
Work-life balance consistently ranks near the top of concerns for self-employed women. With kids in the mix, balance can be even more elusive. But sometimes the challenge isn't maintaining balance but finding a way to throw it to the wind (for a while).

Library Journal
Pakroo, an attorney and small-business expert, plumps up her earlier book, The Small Business Start-Up Kit: A Step-by-Step Legal Guide (6th ed., 2010), by adding material that focuses on the unique needs of women entrepreneurs. Both books offer solid advice on crafting a business plan, designing a marketing strategy, choosing the appropriate legal structure, handling employment issues, and working with legal and financial professionals. In this new volume, Pakroo adds an opening chapter on work/life balance that discusses working with spouses, mixing business and children, and designing a business structure compatible with career and family goals. She covers the challenges of home-based businesses; considers financial, tax, and health-care considerations for women; and provides a list of agencies that serve women in business. There are tips, anecdotes, and practical insights from a number of accomplished women entrepreneurs on such topics as business travel with children and creative ways to reduce child care costs. The accompanying CD includes extended interviews and a collection of financial forms and worksheets. VERDICT There is enough distinctive material here to justify owning this as well as Pakroo's other title, at least in larger public libraries. Newly entrepreneurial women will appreciate this source.—Joan Pedzich, Harris Beach PLLC, Rochester, NY
