Synopsis
The world's largest and most comprehensive collection of great business ideas.
Library Journal
Representing 30 industries, this directory briefly lists 1350 businesses that entrepreneurs might be interested in starting. Each entry includes a rating based on ease of start-up, estimated cost and income potential, online opportunity, whether the business could be home based, potential legal issues, skills needed, part-time possibilities, and the franchise or licensing potential. The businesses cover a wide range of commercial ideas, from seed packaging, tree-house kits, cooking classes, chimney cleaning, and vitamin sales to graffiti removal, online lotteries, children's toys, art galleries, and bumper stickers. Readers learn how to market and advertise their business and how to secure paying customers and build competitive advantages. Real business advice and real business opportunities will help entrepreneurs identify and understand the best new business venture for them. All libraries, especially those serving the small-business community, will want to purchase this inexpensive and well-written reference. Susan C.
