Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a legal guide to owning and running a craft business. I do a lot of fiber crafts, and this book answers my questions regarding selling my products. It is easy to read, and covers topics in depth, including how to price your products; your work space; doing business online; hiring employees; business forms of all types, which are included on a cd; copyrights; design patents; names and trademarks; licensing; taxes; and lawyers, contracts and lawsuits.
Richard Stim also includes some case examples and tips to begin a successful business.
For me, this information allows me to examine how to form a craft company; which way to proceed initially; how to handle the business aspects and legalities, particularly taxes, and more, including further resources.
In the past, I have done consulting work (not in crafts) and found it difficult to obtain the information I needed on how to administer my own (one person) business, and spent a lot of money on accountants and lawyers. With this book, all that information is readily available and up to date, I wish I had had it then.
The information here is also solid for businesses other than crafts, and would cover most home businesses with invaluable help.
The book is also very current in recent legal changes, such as CPSIA requirements, which can be quite pertinent to a crafts business.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone contemplating selling crafts informally, or starting a more structured business.
