This authoritative guide shows how a small practice can and will succeed if the right paths are chosen. Written using the author's own experiences of setting up and running a successful sole practice, the book offers straightforward, realistic and cost-effective advice. This edition has been fully updated with topics such as limited liability partnerships, multi-disciplinary partnerships, e-banking technology and client care. Its logical structure mirrors the steps involved in establishing a small practice, starting with decisions about location, finance and insurance through to marketing and expansion.
