Understanding the Small-Business Founder

The Small Business Bible

Steven D. Strauss

The VMT Review — Small Business library

This is an accessible general reference covering the creation, financing, operation, marketing, and growth of a conventional small business. It is particularly useful for founders who need a broad map before they are ready for specialized guidance.

What the reader will learn

Founders gain exposure to business planning, competition, customer service, staffing, financial management, e-commerce, franchising, and growth. Its principal value is showing the range of responsibilities a business owner must eventually learn to manage.
