The Essential Small Business Handbook

By Mr. John A Ockert

THE ESSENTIAL SMALL BUSINESS HANDBOOK The best and most complete handbook for the Small Business Entrepreneur. Essential information for starting, buying, operating and succeeding.The Essential Small Business Handbook is designed for the Small or Micro Business Owner with ten or fewer employees. Although there are over four and half million Small Businesses with less than ten employees, they are subject to laws and regulation that stretch their financial ability to understand. Micro Businesses are required to navigate over 72,000 pages of tax codes without the financial resources of a large company. We know that these laws are applied equally, we just don't understand why we need a team of Tax Lawyers and Certified Public Accountants to do business. I created this handbook in an attempt to level the playing field. Micro Business Owners require basic knowledge of business entities, finance, tax, marketing and a whole host of operating information. Understanding Bookkeeping, Financial Statements and tax information are also essential tools for managing your company and obtaining this information has been elusive. Many new entrepreneurs are frustrated that they cannot get straight answers from attorneys and accountants without putting a significant dent in their budget. This handbook will provide you with essential business, accounting, tax, operating and even IRS information and at the very minimum, you will gain the knowledge to ask the right questions.The mission of this Handbook is to provide Small Businesses Owners the tools and information for creating success when buying a franchise, purchasing a business or starting a business. This Handbook also provides Small Businesses the essential information needed to understand Financial Statements and how they can prepare their companies bookkeeping using an innovative three-step approach. I know the confusion our tax code has created, and I have included a comprehensive list of Small Business tax deductions available to the Micro Business, and tips on how to use them.
