First I have to say what I HATED about this book. The head of every paragraph and a lot of highlighted sections were in a cursive font which I really had to struggle to read. I almost did not read it at all. And it’s too bad because there is a lot of good information in there. I am not sure there is anything that isn’t covered in “The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business”, and at the high price I am really struggling about whether to keep this book. If you are really planning to sell your business, it is probably worth it. It does cover many valuation techniques and situations.

I think this book is very effective! Once you by pass all the gramatical errors, then you will be in driver’s seat on this subject. A good book worth reading by anyone who is or plans to be a small business owner. I take my hat off to the author for making such a complicated subject easy to follow within the covers of such a small book.
