It's like having an experienced business person holding your hand. - By: Michael Jones, 17 Feb 2007 
When I began the long & winding road that was setting up my own business, this book was the first one I bought.
Step by step it lays out what you need to do, why you need to do it,in some cases what will happen if you don't do it & does this over 15 clearly laid out & concise chapters.
The language is straight forward & positive & this is particularily helpfulin sections such as 'Doing the Books.' It actually made subjects such as VAT & Tax Returns understandible, (no mean feat).
The book is loaded with examples, helpful contacts & websites all that help make the process of starting your own business a lot less painful.
Additional to this the cover of this book is hillarious &in times of dispair can help put a smile on your face.
If you are thinking quitting the day job then this book is a must buy before you write your notice letter. For everyone else this is a good read to understand how business works & who knows you just might quit the day job too.
Recommended to anyone starting their own business - By: matty, 12 Oct 2003 
Even though I am a long way off from starting my own business, this book is definetely something which I would feel would lead mein the right direction. The book is split up into chapters outling the main points of any business (money, premises, doing the books, etc....) & is a must for anyone thinking of starting their own business as, unlike the other books out there on business, it is split up & presented clearly making it very easy to understand & take in. Definetely recommended.
