Cold Start

The Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Business

By: Tom Withers

Narrated by: Tom Withers, Tom Peterson

COLD START is the entrepreneur's one stop, step-by-step guide to getting a business off the ground. There are literally thousands of books out there that talk about start-ups and cover things like marketing, product development, and sales, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one that will take you through the EXACT details you need to get your business licensed, incorporated, and legal. Cold Start gives you all those answers and more!

If you've got a great idea for a business, but you aren't sure how to pull off the mechanics of getting it started, then search no more. Tom Withers takes you through the process in precise detail, creating a simple, easy-to-follow checklist to get you into business.

But Tom doesn't stop there! He takes you through the first few steps along the path for a new business, such as how to write an effective Operating Agreement with your partners, how to start building business credit, and how to navigate a sale, IPO, or other exit when the time comes. Tom's love of business shines through this book. He wrote this because he believes that entrepreneurship and the spirit of human striving and exploration are the greatest things humankind has going for us. He doesn't want to see talented, brave, and intrepid would-be entrepreneurs stumble and fall just because they forgot to file a form with the IRS!

Cold Start is everything you could want and more in a book on start-ups. Check it out!
