Download or read book The Cosmetics Entrepreneur Manual written by Davor Pavlic and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you happen to come across this book and your business isn't about cosmetics, please do not be discouraged. Even though this book has a 'cosmetics' word in the title, I assure you that anyone can read it and find the information in it useful. The book is created to give the reader more information about starting a cosmetic business and not only a cosmetic line. I have done this because many of us think that it is enough to find an e-mail from a laboratory and our job is done. But it barely started. This is why this book covers much more than talking just about cosmetics. Many of us who have had ideas about a cosmetic line aren't starting from that background and more often than not we don't have a clear vision what else needs to be done. Reading this book will reveal the details of the process which takes you from your idea to your product. What you need to be, what you must be on the lookout for when dealing with laboratories, about a business plan, marketing and funding. You will get insight into the things you need to do and some hidden costs of doing business in this field.

Download or read book High Tech Start Up Revised And Updated written by John L. Nesheim and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-09-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition of Nesheim's underground Silicon Valley bestseller incorporates twenty-three case studies of successful start-ups, including tables of wealth showing how much money founders and investors realized from each venture. The phenomenal success of the initial public offerings (IPOs) of many new internet companies obscures the fact that fewer than six out of 1 million business plans submitted to venture capital firms will ever reach the IPO stage. Many fail, according to start-up expert John Nesheim, because the entrepreneurs did not have access to the invaluable lessons that come from studying the real-world venture experiences of successful companies. Now they do. Acclaimed by entrepreneurs the world over, this practical handbook is filled with hard-to-find information and guidance covering every key phase of a start-up, from idea to IPO: how to create a winning business plan, how to value the firm, how venture capitalists work, how they make their money, where to find alternative sources of funding, how to select a good lawyer, and how to protect intellectual property. Nesheim aims to improve the odds of success for first-time high-tech entrepreneurs, and offers an insider's perspective from firsthand experience on one of the toughest challenges they face -- convincing venture capitalists or investment banks to provide financing. This complete, classic reference tool is essential reading for first-time high-tech entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs already involved in a start-up who want to increase their chances of success to rise to the top.
