Customer Reviews

All you need to know about running a business
A 'bible' for anyone about to, or already running, a business. A great layout makes it easy to read and you can 'drop in' to a section and extract what you need.

The expert opinion sections in each chapter are particulary useful.

The marketing & sales chapter is particulary good as is the IT one. The 'legal duties as a business owner' is a real eye opener!

The best business book I own!
This is a business book you ac tually want to read!

I've run my own business for 4 years and have loads of books on my shelf. A friend of mine bought this for me as a gift having seen it at an exhibition and I've now bought a copy for another friend. It is completely different - it's in colour with dividers between the sections. I actually read my one from cover to cover and I've never done that with a business book. Now I know a lot more than I did before. (And I thought I knew a lot !). It's crammed with ifnromation and advice but is still really easy and comfortable to read and they include other places to go for help too. That's one of the things I liked most.

You'll want to keep this book open on your desk. Can't rate it highly enough. Love it!

Easy reading for busy people!
This publication contains such a wealth of useful and practical business information which is presented in such a user friendly manner.

Whatever the subject, there is a clear and concise overview with really useful links for further detail.

I really recommend it!
