In addition to a breakdown of the common issues and concerns facing women entrepreneurs of every stripe, you’ll find information and guidance on:

• choosing and developing the right business to live the life you want
  
• drafting an effective business plan
  
• programs that give government contracting preferences to women-owned businesses
  
• understanding and choosing a legal structure
  
• clearing the bureaucratic start-up hurdles
  
• taking your business online
  
• financial management and tax basics for small businesses
  
• balancing work, children, and family relationships
  
• hiring and managing employees
  

The Women’s Small Business Start-Up Kit retains its focus on women’s business-related issues without devolving into stereotypes and never loses sight of the legal rules and fundamentals of starting and running your business. All forms are available through a special link on Nolo.com
