400 Latest and Greatest Small Business Ideas from Around the World.

The editor, Terry Kyle, has a diverse educational and professional background. He worked in advertising agencies whose clients included Pepsi, Kellog’s and Commonwealth Bank. He has had numerous business ventures in Australia for over 2 decades.

Many people dream of becoming of small business owner and becoming his or her own boss. Unfortunately, the type of business to focus our energy and money upon can be overwhelming without proper knowledge of how to execute the plans. This book is a valuable resource on accomplishing your goals. The following topics outlined in the book:

The biggest mistakes small business entrepreneurs make
The perfect small business model
The eBay Mini-Merchant Revolution
The single best free research tool for small business research
10 powerful ways to differentiate your business
10 ways to save thousands of dollars in your business
Best quotes about business
Top new product and service ideas in history
Buying into a franchise
25 great places to advertise for free

The author’s writing style is concise, straightforward and entertaining with a solid approach that can easily be followed by the reader. He dispels many of the myths with regard to owning your business, the operations, advertising, and overhead costs, for example. The information that is written is practical, realistic and, in my opinion, achievable. The book lists links to resources through the internet that are optimal to your success – such as resources specific to businesses, tools to facilitate your success and methods to promote your new venture. The most cost effective methods of advertising your business are covered to help you start out and stay on top of your plans.

One of the most valuable aspects of the book, is the various business ideas from the most intriguing new business ideas, to businesses requiring a retail location, to businesses you can run from home.

VERDICT

I highly recommend this book for anyone considering starting their business, from home or from a retail location.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Small Business: An Entrepreneur’s Business Plan (Paperback)

the book was in less than good condition. It is very used and tattered. I can read it though and that’s all I need. It should have been cheaper at least in my opinion.

Enlightening and helpful, April 27, 2007

By 

Elijah Chingosho “Dr Elijah Chingosho” (Nairobi, Kenya) –

  

  

This is an enlightening book that provides a road map to success in a small business. The book gives, step-by-step, a comprehensive guideline of a business start-up process, identifying target customers, promoting the business, doing the cash flow forecasts, budgeting and other important issues. I found the information to be very practical and provides critical advice to help entrepreneurs avoid costly errors.

The book is well written in an easy to follow and understand format. The experienced entrepreneur as well as the beginner will find the book useful, helpful and handy as it provides real life advice that will help your business to stay afloat and thrive.

Good, but slowly being replaced by online resources, January 26, 2004

By 

Manny Hernandez “@askmanny” (Bay Area, CA) –

  

This review is from: Small Business Kit for Dummies (Paperback)

This a good book, don’t get me wrong. However, having been edited back in 1998, and being -as it is- largely focused on the documents that you, as a Small Business Owner, are likely to be in need of, it now seems a bit outdated and old-fashioned when you compare if with the ease with which you can get (for free) similar formats (business plans, marketing plans, invoices, etc.) online (in office.microsoft.com > Templates, for instance). It is a good reference of what to look for, though, which is why I give it 4 stars.

Extremely Helpful for Everyday Chores, January 9, 2000

By 

Gadgester “No Time, No Money” (Mother Earth) –

  

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Small Business Kit for Dummies (Paperback)

Initially I was confused over how this book would be different from “Small Business for Dummies.” Now I think I know. This book focuses on the everyday chores of starting, funding and running a small business, and gives you lots of legal forms which you can use in order to save money on attorney fees. I find the forms on the CD-ROM extremely useful and helpful.

The book does NOT talk about business ideas or marketing. It approaches the small business from a legal standpoint. For example, how do you talk to venture capitalists? How do you give employees stock options (incredible info in the book!)? How do you deal with employee discontent? How to protect your business legally? How to write a contract? And so on.

If you need to know how to get a small biz idea or how to sell your products/services, this book is not for you. But, once you get your idea off the ground, you ABSOLUTELY NEED this book to survive — unless you’ve got lots of cash to afford a good attorney. This book is no substtitute for a lawyer in many situations, but I have been able to use the forms in the book and on the accompanying CD-ROM to save my company thousands of dollars. I think this is a must-have reference for every small business owner.

I wish IDG would put out an updated edition soon.

Great Overview Book, March 16, 2005

By 

John Matlock “Gunny” (Winnemucca, NV) –

  

This review is from: Tax Savvy for Small Business: Year-Round Tax Strategies to Save You Money (Paperback)

Taxes related to a small business are complex and even a little bewildering if you haven’t gotten into them before. But as this book says, they’re not rocket science difficult.

Here in one book is a general introduction to the major business taxes that we all have to face. In addition there are comments based on experience such as: “Few people ever file form 5213 (Election to Postpone Determination that Activity is for Profit), and for good reason. It draws the IRS’s attention and may invite an audit.” This kind of advice is hard to find in real life, but here the author has enough experience in the area to make such statements.

Most of the book is on the standard kinds of accounting records you’ll need to keep, the limits and philosophies that the IRS follows, etc.

I recommend this book to individuals who run a small business or plan to start a small business.

This is a great book that goes through some tax fundamentals that all small businesses should know. Fredrick Daily has a great talent with translating complicated tax issues into plain English. The book goes through fundamentals areas such as tax basics, deductions, C and S corporations, fringe benefits, and etc.

At the very least, this book has prompted a look back at how my small business’ tax structure is set up.

For those who care to save time and money, this is the book for you.

She makes the small business structure easy to understand, which isn't the same as promising you will not have to work to reap the rewards of doing your homework. <br/>Remember that small businesses may have an annual gross income of millions of dollars. How much you get to keep before the 'taxman cometh' depends on your business tactics and the records you keep to submit to your tax accountant. By the way, your tax accountant is not your book-keeper. <br/>Mrs. Rosenberg takes the novic and experienced through the small business structure step-by-step.

Taxmama.com scores a winner, March 15, 2011

By 

Nash Black “Troubadour” (Jamestown, KY) –

  

This review is from: Small Business Taxes Made Easy, Second Edition (Paperback)

Eva Rosenberg’s SMALL BUSINESS TAXES MADE EASY is a winner and much above lawyer type manuals. She makes the small business structure easy to understand, which isn’t the same as promising you will not have to work to reap the rewards of doing your homework.
Remember that small businesses may have an annual gross income of millions of dollars. How much you get to keep before the ‘taxman cometh’ depends on your business tactics and the records you keep to submit to your tax accountant. By the way, your tax accountant is not your book-keeper.
Mrs. Rosenberg takes the novic and experienced through the small business structure step-by-step. One of my favorite sections is “Planning for Success.” With all of your hard work–you may catch the ‘brass ring’ and it may not be the blessing you’ve dreamed of unless you’ve got a definte plan in place for coping with the consequences.
If you don’t want to take TaxMama’s word for it; she gives you plenty of resources to look it up yourself. A second opion never hurt anyone. This volume is easy to hold in your hands unlike other tax industry offerings.
SMALL BUSINESS TAXES MADE EASY is a must have reference for your desk. Take it to bed with you to read and digest in short chunks (I did).
P.S. The index is outstanding and also easy to use to pinpoint a specific item.

Didn’t expect to Laugh & have Aha! Moments, March 4, 2011

By 

Citizen John (USA) –

  

This review is from: Small Business Taxes Made Easy, Second Edition (Paperback)

In her book, Eva introduced me to yet more ways taxpayers can qualify for deductions. The partial garage deduction is an example. That put me in a favorable mood. I enjoyed this book despite the fact that it’s about TAXES. Her approach is to inject street smarts regarding income taxes.

There’s nothing like getting tax advice from a veteran of marathon tax seasons, when tax research is always an urgency motivated by real people’s problems. This book is no regurgitation of the tax code. I easily recommend it over J.K. Lasser’s, for example. With access to the Internet, you can get all the IRS Forms you need along with instructions for filling them out. This book gives the real world advice. This is not to say the book is the only printed word you’ll need – far from it. It’s natural to have areas that require a little tax research, which can generally be done on the Internet.

On page 144, Eva (TaxMama) gave an example where net operating losses (NOLs) can be extra helpful. She had prepared a return where the taxpayer had office-in-home carryforwards that reduced the self-employment tax burden. This is one of the few deductions that reduce the self-employment tax.

One thing TaxMama convinced me to do is abandon in most cases trying to deduct home Internet use. Record keeping for this deduction tends to defeat the benefit.

Whereas I once was a tax preparer, I recognize value from savvy people that do real tax work full-time like TaxMama.com Eva Rosenberg. In fact, I’ve worked with many tax attorneys, even excellent ones. Further, I’m a CPA and perform tax research from time to time. I defer to those with tax combat experience and don’t care a whit about anything else because the subject is dissimilar to other things.

I enjoyed the book, learned useful things about deductions and record keeping, and am keeping it for reference. I recommend it for street smarts with the caveat that perfection doesn’t exist in tax planning or preparation.

Not that much information, April 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Keeping the Books: Basic Record Keeping and Accounting for the Successful Small Business (Paperback)

Based on some of the glaring reviews, I was really expecting a superior book here. What I got wasn’t even good for the green as green novice.

I was anxious to read the tax information since some reviewers had noted how great that was, but alas, I found it to be note much different from what I get from the IRS or even by reading basic tax forms…FOR FREE!

I’d pass on this one.

Great book!, July 6, 2001

By 

Ruslan Moskalenko –

This review is from: Keeping the Books: Basic Recordkeeping and Accounting for the Successful Small Business (Paperback)

This is a really great book for beginners. I’m not a proffesional accountant (my primary area is computer systems administrations) but I have been working in banks for 5 years and I read a lot of books about accounting basics because it was part of my job. And usually those books were either too practical or too academic. But this one is perfectly balanced. It explains you not only what to do but it also gives you a pretty solid background why you should do this and what for. It shows you a complete picture of a small company accounting including major forms, reports shedule, books etc and that’s all in just 200 pages. It’s amazing how the author can explain in a couple words some concepts which usually takes a whole chapter in some other tutorials. You can read it to just to get some idea about accounting wording and concepts, or you can keep it on the table and use as a Howto giude in your everyday work, it works both ways. And it’s pretty fairly priced. Very, very nice book!

Well Written for Non-Accountants/Bookkeepers, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Keeping the Books (Paperback)

This book is excellent and well written for people who are NEW to bookkeeping/accounting for small business. I especially found the checklists provided (when to pay various Federal and State Taxes, to whom to pay various Federal and State Taxes, when to produce certain financial reports, what to have ready for your Tax Accountant at year end and in what format) to be VERY useful. EXCELLENT reference book for the do-it-yourself bookkeeper.

Useful Reference Book, June 17, 2010

By 

Eclectic Booklover (US) –

  

This review is from: The Women’s Small Business Start-Up Kit: A Step-by-Step Legal Guide (Paperback)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

Starting a small business can be a wonderful experience, but would you know where to begin? What do you need to think about, and what do you need to do, before making such a huge and important decision?

In this new book the author outlines the important pieces that need to be researched and then implemented to get your new venture off the ground and running smoothly. You will learn how to develop a business plan; ways to successfully market your business and how to get maximum market exposure; the benefits of e-business tools; how to manage the accounting portion of your business, including what you need to know about federal, state and local taxes; whether you need to have legal professionals involved, and even how to hire employees who will help your business.

I thought this book was well organized, pretty easy to understand and that this book would be a good resource to any woman (or man) seriously considering a first time business venture. RECOMMENDED

Their books are so well organized, containing nothing but useful, pertinent information, that any topic they cover will provide a good deal of education. <br/><br/>The Women's Small Business Start-Up Kit is designed for someone without a huge amount of business knowledge. If you're just getting starting, it's a great resource. Every step is covered, along with a CD-ROM of legal forms that are printable. The curious thing to me is that this book is targeted at women, and is in fact a follow up to a more universally titled volume, The Small Business Start-Up Kit. I think there is a little bit of strategy being employed here to get women specifically to pick it up. Perhaps some women are intimidated by the idea of entering the world of entreprenuership, thinking that its a "man's world." The cover shot of a woman lazing away at the office with her feet up on the desk is designed to trick someone into thinking this is a breeze. <br/><br/>Well, it's not. Starting a business and running it successfully is never easy, for a man or a woman. But this book does have a decidedly feminized slant, as it discusses business ownership from a woman's viewpoint.

NOLO does it again, June 9, 2010

By 

TheBandit (SEA-TAC) –

  

This review is from: The Women’s Small Business Start-Up Kit: A Step-by-Step Legal Guide (Paperback)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

So far in my experience exploring books released by NOLO, I’ve found you can’t really go wrong. Their books are so well organized, containing nothing but useful, pertinent information, that any topic they cover will provide a good deal of education.

The Women’s Small Business Start-Up Kit is designed for someone without a huge amount of business knowledge. If you’re just getting starting, it’s a great resource. Every step is covered, along with a CD-ROM of legal forms that are printable. The curious thing to me is that this book is targeted at women, and is in fact a follow up to a more universally titled volume, The Small Business Start-Up Kit. I think there is a little bit of strategy being employed here to get women specifically to pick it up. Perhaps some women are intimidated by the idea of entering the world of entreprenuership, thinking that its a “man’s world.” The cover shot of a woman lazing away at the office with her feet up on the desk is designed to trick someone into thinking this is a breeze.

Well, it’s not. Starting a business and running it successfully is never easy, for a man or a woman. But this book does have a decidedly feminized slant, as it discusses business ownership from a woman’s viewpoint. It also delves into how advantages can be had by being a woman business owner, as far as government incentives go. I’m strictly against that; in this day in age, what difference should gender still make, all things being equal? But the advantages are there, so there’s no reason to hold back from using them. The book will help you.

NOLO is a great resource time and again and this volume is no exception.
