The number of people who have helped me produce this comprehensive guide continues to grow. My debt to those who commented and supplied information for the original edition remains enormous; they helped me to improve the quality and content of the advice it contains to help you get new enterprises up and running, and keep them that way. I’d also like to thank all the team at Pearson Education for the work they have done in publishing the guide so successfully under its current title.
Note
I have taken every care and effort to check the information and advice in this guide. Nevertheless, with a book as comprehensive as this one the odd slip may occur. Unfortunately, I regret that I cannot be responsible for any loss that you may suffer as a result of any omission or inaccuracy.
