Format:Paperback
This book is simply a "must-have" for those thinking of starting a business. It is full of really useful tips (these are highlighted), and is written in a sensible and thorough chronological process, without any jargon, covering every aspect of running a business. It will be helpful too to those who may have been in business for many years, as there are many suggestions in the book on things which one may not be doing and should be.
The book clearly shows that it is written by someone with a sound background of practical, rather than theoretical experience. It should be mandatory reading for anyone in business and I wish it has been published 25 years ago.
I learnt much from it, but also have suggestions to add should the author consider a revised edition at some stage in the future.

Many years of counselling thousands of businesses has given Kim exceptionally deep knowledge of the main issues encountered when starting a business, and he lays them all out in this book. It is a book which you can read quickly for an overview, and then dip into for practical tips as and when you need them for the first year of your business. Well worth a read if you are considering starting a business.
