Our Essential Business products
It's easy to start a business! But running one that will make money and thrive year after year is not quite so simple. And if you don't get it right, the effects can be painful.
Our books aim to help you get it right. We want to help you run a great business.
All our books are researched, written, edited, designed and published by a small dedicated team of people who are passionate about producing great products (read more about us here).
We understand about business because we are all running our own businesses right now. (And have been for years!) That's what makes our books so different. Everyone involved in creating them is a small business owner.
There are currently three Essential Business products. These are:
- The Essential Business Guide — winner of the 2006 Plain English Award and winner of the Start Your Business magazine 'Business Book of the Year' award.
- Start Your Business Step by Step — our brand new interactive workbook and worksheets (which was tested by 60 business advisers and startups across the UK before we allowed it to be published).
- Before You Begin — our FREE ebook designed to help you decide whether to start a business and get it right first time
Our aim is simple: to produce the kind of books that we wish had been around when we started out. Clearly written, easy to understand, no jargon, no time wasting. We know you're busy and we know there's a lot you need to take in, and quickly! We have a reputation for presenting complex information in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. That's why we were awarded the Plain English Award for our Essential Business Guide. (The first business book ever to win it! Read what the Plain English Campaign had to say about our Guide .)
