CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

• 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, And since each chapter title answers a question about sole proprietorship you can skip around the book as you like without wondering if you missed something. Highly recommend for Canadian entrepreneurs in every province!
• 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.
