5.0 out of 5 stars THIS AUTHOR KNOWS HIS STUFF, 27 Mar 2003

MARGARET BOYLE (Hungerford, Berks) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starting Your Own Business: How to Plan, Build and Manage (Paperback)

I am planning to launch my own business in May of this year and I've been reading lots of books on the subject of start-ups. This one is the most comprehensive I've come across. Found the chapter on securing public sector funding most instructive - it has provided me with useful inroads which I'm currently pursuing

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful first stop on the road to starting a business, 27 July 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Starting Your Own Business: How to Plan, Build and Manage (Paperback)

A great book for anyone thinking about starting a business from scratch with little or no experience. Using simple but illustrative examples, the author raises and discusses many of the practical issues of starting up. The book is a very readable introduction that gets the reader thinking along the right lines, and is full of references to other sources of information on more specific topics.
