5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for wannabe and current small business owners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Small Business for Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)) (Paperback)
After I finished Tyson's excellent Investing for Dummies, I picked up Small Business for Dummies which Tyson, an entrepreneur, personal finance writer and counselor co-wrote with entrepreneur Jim Schell. This book too was outstanding. It's practical, well-written and organized and comprehensive. Filled with anecdotes as well as concrete advice.

Small Business for Dummies,
By
This review is from: Small Business For Dummies (Paperback)
There are many people who start a small business every year, all around the world. 2011 will be no exception, and it is a key theme of the UK Government that small business has their role in supporting the re-energising of a stagnant economy. The problems that all entrepreneurs face are similar - what is my idea? Where will I get money to grow my business? How will I cope in the meantime?
"Small Business for Dummies" by Eric Tyson and Jim Schell takes these problems and adds a title to the very successful "...for dummies" series of books. This book has been written with the aim of providing answers to most if not all of your questions. The help starts as soon as you turn the front cover over, as there is a tear-out page containing 20 Tips that can be kept as an aide-memoire pinned to the fridge door in case you might forget them. "...for Dummies" is a very successful ranges of books, with this title being their contender to help small businesses. There are the usual chapters on finding your niche, making your planning effective and finding sources of capital, remembering to make the money work as hard as is possible so that your returns (profits) are greater. What I like about this book, above and beyond all the other small-business-book offerings, are the chapters on negotiating deals, how to market and how to attract and retain superstar employees. I have yet to find a business book (at any level) that collects together as much information as this and provides it in a eminently readable book. Aside from the usual disclaimer that reminds UK readers that the specific taxation and legal structures are for US audiences only, there is a lot to commend this book to anyone who is thinking about starting their own business. This is definitely a keeper, and as the book gets updated (the reviewed copy was a 3rd edition, 2008) its value can only grow.
5.0 out of 5 stars
