5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Those New To Starting a Business, 26 Jul 2005
I bought this book at the business planning stage before starting our business and I found it indispensable. I used almost all of it to develop our business plan and 3 years later our business (started from our attic bedroom)is becoming established, has premises, 5 staff and we have just reached the semi-finals stage for an award for best new businesses.

I still use the very useful spreadsheets (which are available from an on-line link in the book) for producing our accounts.

For those with previous business experience or substantial theoretical knowledge from business courses it may not be as valuable. But for those with little of this experience or knowledge it provides a really good starting point.

By T. Hugill - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you want to start a business, this is the book to read. We all need a business plan to start, grow and keep a business. This book tells you why, how, and for whom sections of the business plan should be written.
