The Women's Small Business Start-Up Kit:
A Step-by-Step Legal Guide
by Peri Pakroo

• Everything you need to get your business started
• Special resources for women entrepreneurs
• Solutions for maintaining work-life balance

• draft a solid business plan
• raise start-up money
• choose a legal structure
• manage finances and taxes
• promote your business on a budget
• take your business online
• hire quality contractors and employees

Why a small business book aimed just at women? Because the women entrepreneurs I work with want to know about special certification programs for women-owned businesses, government contracting opportunities, and resources such as Women's Business Centers nationwide. They also want to hear about creative ways to maintain work-life balance. You'll find all this in the book.

Good luck with your new business!

P.S. I've included interviews with several successful women business owners throughout the book. I think their insights will inform and inspire you.
