Excellent foundation book-hits a lick on all aspects.

Great reference book for starting a business. Covers all aspects from accounting & tax issues to marketing, and much more. I heartily recommend this book in all my seminars. Very useful three way presentation style: in depth; Q & A; and stories with graphics. One of them is bound to match your learning style.

Full of easy to understand advice for any small business

This book is not just for start-ups. It's for anyone operating or considering starting a small business. Bob Adams knows his stuff. Not because he's some guy from Harvard, but because he has been through the small business wars. The book presents information in short, easy to digest bites, and runs the gamut from where to get ideas for a business, to hiring your first employee, to firing your first employee, to selling the business. And everything in between. Legal matters, cash management, customer service, taxes, accounting, buying equipment... I really like the Q & A sections for each topic and the use of bullets and lists. They make it easy to find what you are looking for without having to hunt for it. My only complaint is that you have to order a separate CD to get templates and forms, but even without them this book is a bargain Ed Martin Small Business Information Guide http://sbinformation.miningco.com
