Publisher's Note "Prepackaged" businesses are attractive alternatives for people across the country interested in working for themselves. In the newest addition to their Working From Home series, Paul and Sarah Edwards present another viable way to start a successful business. With this book, readers discover concrete steps and worksheets to evaluate the potential for actually earning an income, from helping to make ends meet to a full-time career.
Industry Reviews Starting a home business is increasingly an area of opportunity for many, and prepackaged home businesses offer an alternative to building a home-based business from scratch. The Edwardses, veteran business authors (Finding Your Perfect Work, LJ 12/95), have prepared a practical guide that focuses on three categories of home business packages: franchises, multilevel marketing, and business opportunities. They thoroughly analyze each category, including a history of each business concept (e.g., franchising), and discuss legal aspects, advantages and disadvantages, and case studies. The authors provide a helpful checklist to measure consumer compatibility with each type of prepackaged business, and they list useful directory information. A valuable addition is the bibliography of books, associations, and Internet resources. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone desiring to buy a home-based business. Recommended for public libraries. Lucy T. Heckman, St. John's Univ. Lib., Jamaica, N.Y. Stefanatos
