Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if you have a business idea and almost no money to back it?At 23, Ezio Fusco walked out of his father's employment with no plan at all. He soon took over a fish and chip shop in Tallaght, and that was only the beginning. Over the years he ran a pub in Newbridge, a shop with a post office inside it, a vegetarian restaurant beside the Olympia Theatre and a 260-seat self-service restaurant on Abbey Street. He drove a crane truck, became an owner-driver in waste removal, cooked on a gas platform off the Cork coast, and today drives a limousine in Dublin.Big Business is a business book for young entrepreneurs who want to know how it is really done. It shows what starting a business with little money looks like, how a deal gets made when you cannot pay the asking price, and what it costs when things go wrong. Ezio writes about lessons from failure as plainly as he writes about the good days: a court order to leave a pub within twelve hours, a mortgage that sank during the banking crisis, and the slow work of starting again.Inside, you will find real small business stories from shops, pubs, restaurants, haulage and waste removal, along with down-to-earth thinking on self-employment, staff, banks and trust. There is a look at starting out in Dublin in 1983 compared with starting out today, including the supports available and the problems that remain. And there are straight words for anyone who never went to university and still wants to build something.This is not a textbook, and the author is clear that he is not a business coach. It is a business biography from a man who has spent a lifetime in entrepreneurship, written so you can decide whether business is right for you before you put your money and your name on the line.Younger readers will find a way in. Older readers may recognise an old road.If you have an idea, some nerve and not much cash, start here.
