CUSTOMER REVIEWS: I first stumbled across this little book while researching how I wanted to structure my freelance copywriting business. After reading it I think it's essential reading for any Canadian/Quebecer small business person who wants clear, straightforward, no "BS" answers to every question you have (and many you haven't thought about) about starting a sole proprietorship. The book is written in layman's terms so pretty much anyone can understand it, but I appreciate that it also doesn't skimp on specifics or talk down to the reader.And since each chapter title answers a question about sole proprietorship (e.g., "Why and how to register your sole proprietorship," "What does it mean to be zero-rated or exempt?") you can skip around the book as you like without wondering if you missed something.Highly recommend for Canadian entrepreneurs in every province!I was thrilled to have found your website and your book. I've been going chapter by chapter through the book and it's great. It's very clear and it's step-by-step so it's easy to put into practice. I read a chapter every day and do what is relevant for that day (register the business, open a bank account, etc). I really like the section on deductions as well. It's a great book and a great guide. You make the process easy! Ronika's book provides great insight which allowed me to understand the process of starting a business in Quebec. It is very informative and well organized, as the information provided can be difficult to find elsewhere and let alone in one resource. I highly recommend reading through this book if you are starting a business in Quebec or in Canada!Your book truly has made my business registration journey so much easier; everything is so easy to follow and is beginner friend...
