Your Guide to Starting a Small Enterprise
This publication, Your Guide to Starting a Small Enterprise, looks at how a small enterprise evolves from a mere business idea until the enterprise is born. It is a step-by-step guidebook that walks the reader through a systematic way of putting up a small business. It is a light and easy read and the language is simple.This guidebook has a different ending. Unlike the usual guidebook that will either leave the reader hanging, asking for more or be put back to the shelf after being read, Your Guide to Starting a Small Enterprise induces the reader into action. It is not all concepts; it is interactive. Asking the reader to complete a business blueprint as each chapter is read is probably the next best thing that this guidebook can offer.
