Speaking as someone that lives and breathes this topic, I congratulate this author on successfully addressing issues surrounding a small business sale. The book is written for both the buyer and seller, with a slight preference or tilt towards a buyer's perspective. I liked the emphasis on the importance of knowing yourself and your goals before starting the buy/sell process. There are ample definitions and worksheets to explain basic terms. Overall, a recommended book for someone new to business and business sales, particularly in the small business area.
A must for the serious small business buyer.

This book is a complete step-be-step guide to buying/selling a small business. The author begins by explaining the process of choosing the right business for you. He continues by giving detailed explanations of each step of the process, following through to how to deal with your new employees.
The book includes a CD that contains the complete book plus a sample business plan that can be modified to suit your needs. Another benefit of the book is the simplified explanation of how to do a financial analysis of the prospective business. This analysis tells you a lot about the way a business operates and if the business is worth the investment risk.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously looking into buying a small business. It is packed full of helpful information and is written in terminology that is very easy to understand. The financial information alone is well worth the purchase of the book.
An Excellent Buying/Selling Guide

With a companion CD-ROM, this title is great for anyone planning to buy or sell a small business. It includes everything you'll need to know about valuing the business, evaluating the business, financing and raising the capital, while supplying many of the much needed letters and legal forms that will be used throughout the entire process.

Made up of easy to read, short chapters, you will find much of the important information broken down into bulleted and numbered lists throughout the text. This allows the reader to find just the information needed quickly, while also breaking down what could be an overwhelming amount of information into digestible pieces.

In this title you will find the "Classified Case Studies: Directly From The Experts" pages which are commonly found in books by Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc. These pages give valid, real life experiences from professionals who have already bought or sold a small business.

If you have a small business and are looking to sell, or you are an entrepreneur looking to purchase, this title may be just the one for you!
