Have you ever wanted to start a small business?

Have you ever thought it was tough to do so?

Unsure of how to get started?

I completely understand your confusion and fears. There's so much information out there on the Internet, and so many self-help gurus, that it either takes time to put all the information together or you have to pay top dollar to have a guru explain it to you.

My name is Susan Kilmer, and I am the author of this guide on starting a business. Over the course of my business and entrepreneurship background, I have taught hundreds and hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs how to start a business and business owners how to keep their business going. The one thing they have all said at one time or another is, "I wish there was some manual or guide that will walk me through the steps of what I need to know to start and operate my business."

I listened and I did it. I created this concise yet clear guide on how you can start a business.

It's not just any guide, it takes you through several things, including:

• How to assess yourself. Are you truly prepared?
• How to develop a strong business idea
• How to research if your business idea could fit
• Understanding a business plan
• Business loans and funding options: what do banks want?
• How do I start and what permits and licenses do I need?
• Do I need to incorporate?

And much more!
