We’re delighted to announce that our book, Getting down to business – a practical, no-nonsense guide to growing your small business – is all set to hit the shops in September.

We’ve brought a wealth of experience from some 25 years of helping clients reach their business goals to the book, with proven guidelines for how to not only survive but excel in a chosen business field.

You can pre-order a copy for the special price of £9.99 from our website.

Starting a business in a recession is a popular thing to do, whether through need or want. When times are tough, small firms can identify niche opportunities in a market and move quickly to fill them. Help available includes that from industry bodies, government assistance programmes with loans available and using technology to innovate, raise finance and find new customers.

Now help is also available from our book, with information on everything needed for the small business owner – from managing finances to marketing and everything in between.

Getting down to business also includes chapters on getting started, setting goals, sales, marketing, finance, IT and managing yourself.

Published by Sue Richardson Associates, due out in September 2013, the book can be pre-ordered through the ETC website  for an early bird offer of £9.99.

It will be available in printed, e-reader and smart phone compatible format. Dogger
