• raise start-up money • choose between a sole proprietorship, partnership or LLC • get licenses and permits • buy or sell a business or franchise • negotiate a favorable lease • insure your business • hire independent contractors safely • understand small business tax rules • pick and protect a good name • resolve legal disputes • adopt the best customer policies • enter into strong contracts • cope with financial problems
