It has often been said that, "You can run your business by the seat of your pants-but you will probably end up with torn pants." One of the principal reasons for business failure is the lack of proper planning. In today's world, both small and large businesses have come to understand that they need to take the time to evaluate their business potential and map a plan for the future. Start-up is where the planning and implementation begins.
It is the goal of this book to give a clear, concise, and easy-tounderstand process to follow during business start-up. I have been working with business owners for many years and most of them have the same problem-they are experts in their industries, but are novices when it comes to knowing how to start and operate a business.
