In the latest news about Jo Haigh, the acclaimed corporate financier has now released her new start-up book, which draws on her experience in the professional services industry.
Jo Haigh’s contributions to corporate finance have qualified her to be the Founder and Chairman of fds and Chair and Non-Executive Director for many prestigious companies across England and the Isle of Man. As an experienced and esteemed corporate financier with over 36 years under her belt, Jo is well-versed to share her knowledge and insights of the professional services industry, which she has now compiled into her seventh, newly published business book.
‘The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting A New Business: Sharing advice and knowledge from over thirty years in business’ is a guide for budding entrepreneurs who wish to take their ideas and passion to the next level. Written during the COVID-19 lockdown, Jo draws on her vast experiences and shares her journey and advice in a no-holds-barred manner.
Self-claimed “start-up junkie” Jo Haigh has been involved in thousands of companies throughout her career, and has bought and sold over 400 businesses, for both her and others – so she would like to think she knows a thing or two in this field!
For many, starting a business is likely to be one of the biggest decisions ever made. While many get it right from the start, having a guide at hand from somebody who has been in the same position as you and learning to feel comfortable making mistakes is all part of the journey.
Haigh comments: “Coronavirus has caused a seismic change in the whole world, not least for the business community. With daily announcements of yet more redundancies, many individuals will seek to control their own destiny. With this “new world” in mind, I believed this book would hit the spot”.
Topics covered throughout the book include how to question if you’re starting a company for the right reason, whether you have the entrepreneurial gene, how to conduct business plans and compile research for branding the company, and how to manage cash and employees in the business.
The book is a well-rounded blend of all things business, told uniquely from the perspective of somebody who has experienced the industry’s highs, trials and tribulations.
