The Women's Small Business Start-up Kit

Peri Pakroo · 2018
82/100
👍 Worth It

Peri Pakroo delivers exactly what most start-up books skip — the legal nuts and bolts, from entity formation to government contracting, wrapped in real stories from women who have done it. The Nolo pedigree means the guidance is genuinely reliable, not just motivational. US-centric and subject to regulatory drift, but as a foundation document for a woman launching her first business, it is hard to beat.
