Liz Granirer discovers everything you need to know about financing a small business, all in one handy guide

If you run a small business then you’ll know what the key small owner worry is: cash – or the lack of it.

This comprehensive guide to small business finance is jam-packed with all the information you need on how to raise money to launch or grow a business, or manage the finances of the one you’re already running.

By the same people who brought you the Good Small Business Guide, this book has up-to-date guidance, jargon-free advice, a very useful glossary of financial terms and authoritative, practical ideas from small-business specialists on a wide range of topics, including the basics, such as gaining funds from business angels or private equity;
applying for grants; choosing a bank account; avoiding cash-flow problems; issuing invoices and receipts; using the small claims court; setting up a stakeholder pension scheme; coping in a cash-flow crisis and more.

Statistics show that more than 30,000 people became insolvent in England and Wales during the first three months of 2007 alone – a new (scary) record. And with the ominous financial crunch rolling across the Atlantic toward our shores like a wave, you’ll want to be as prepared as possible. So, if you’re tearing your hair out wondering how you’ll cope, keep this book close to you. The clear, unpretentious language makes you feel you really can get on top of it all.
