Product Description

Product Description
Are you afraid of finance? If so, don't worry. You're in good company: many entrepreneurs and small business owners are the same. And now, here is the book for you. Jointly written by Beermat Entrepreneur Chris West and two experienced finance directors, Stephen King and Jeff Macklin, "Finance on a Beermat" demystifies the whole topic. It shows you how to turn finance from something scary, dull, backward-looking or incomprehensible (sometimes all four!) into a clear, powerful and proactive tool for building businesses. Cash is the lifeblood of every small business - but how do you control it?How do you minimize risk while maximizing the potential of your business? What do you need to know about taxes, NI and PAYE? When people start using accountancy-speak, when do you need to listen, and when can you ignore them? What sort of people make the best finance directors for growing businesses? And if you are a finance specialist looking to escape the corporate/professional grind and get involved in enterprise, how do you go about it? Unlike most finance books, "Finance on a Beermat" is aimed purely at small and growing businesses. It is accessible, comprehensive and written from many years' experience in the start-up sector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flattening the Fear about Finance, 5 April 2006
By A. S. WRIGHT (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Finance on a Beermat (Paperback)
The simple explanation of double entry book keeping and the way it links with the balance sheet and profit and loss statement was magical - the easiest to understand exposition I have read in 20 years.

As a regular deliverer of a 2 day training workshop for Business Advisers on behalf of the Institute of Business Advisers (IBA)and similar courses, I was delighted to read this book and will now be giving away copies (bought from Amazon) on our future Flattening the Fear about Finance programmes.

The whole book is a delight. It is easy to read, makes finance fun, is accurate, useful and peppered with great examples, as well as emphasising the important bits all business people need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read with sound practical advice, 2 Nov 2006
This review is from: Finance on a Beermat (Paperback)
If you are running (or thinking of starting) an SME business in the UK, give this book a try. Some very sound, clearly explained advice to help you make it. As they say, everything ends up in the accounts eventually!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad introduction - but more depth is needed
This is a good book as an introduction - an easy and quick read in an engaging style, but it doesn't go into enough detail to develop enough knowledge to communicate credibly with... Read more
