Many of us would love to jump on the home-based business bandwagon but we simply don't have the qualifications or experience to start a new enterprise from scratch. Popular self-employment authors Paul and Sarah Edwards recognized this predicament, and with Walter Zooi, they have assembled a comprehensive resource precisely for such hesitant entrepreneurs. Home Businesses You Can Buy thoroughly examines franchises, multilevel marketing, and other "prepackaged" business opportunities, and includes important advice on avoiding related scams.


From Library Journal
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.
