Worth Buying
I really like the way this book tackled small business start-up. It is imformative but not patronising. There are lots of handy hints like, jargon busters and top tips. It seems to cover all the key areas and has definately been educational for me. Not the best presentation of all the books on this subject but easy enough to read. Would definately recommend.
