With an aim to provide concise and useful information, the book is for people who are about to take the first step towards setting up a business or who have recently established themselves in business.
Specifically for the New Zealand business environment, the book covers all aspects of entrepreneurship, from new business start up and purchasing an existing business, through to cashflow management and the key components of a business plan. It includes a guide to the main legislation affecting businesses in New Zealand as well as references to additional useful sources of support and information for businesses.
A key feature of the book is the advice and experience shared by New Zealand entrepreneurs who have met the challenge and are now successful in business.
