If you're on long term disability and thinking of starting or buying a business, you face problems most people don't ever worry about. At the same time, you have two advantages. You have plenty of time to devote to starting the business and you may have a source of capital -- the insurance company that holds your policy. Through this book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the risks and benefits of operating a business. You'll learn the questions you need to answer beforehand in order to maximize your chances of success. You'll learn how to develop a simple business plan that will help you avoid common pitfalls.
