5.0 out of 5 stars Watch your dreams soar and your passion materialize to profit., March 19, 2006
This review is from: Black Enterprise Guide to Starting Your Own Business (Black Enterprise Books) (Paperback)
This is an outstanding book. You go through all the things you need to know and why you may make a particular choice. You will know all your possibilities and some of the things to watch out for when making a decision. The book give pictures of the some actual documents you will need so you can look out for them. It also has a quickly referencible section of address, phone, website of institutions to get in contact with exactly to make your business move forward.

The reading style is smooth and solid. You can go fast or slow and still pick up a knowledgeable understanding of how to get things *right*. It is one of the best books to have with you all the time to be a companion when you need to quickly review a topic area or make time for one of the other options you may have previously put aside to propel your business.

Make sure you accompany this with other books or manuals that specialize in some of the topics to give you a heads up in situations that may change like legal issues or type of business-form you setup.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Handy Resource Guide!, November 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black Enterprise Guide to Starting Your Own Business (Black Enterprise Books) (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I am interested in starting my own business. It has proven to be a great resource guide. The topics are easy to read and comprehend. In some cases, the discussions are very short and precise. I would recommend for others. However, it is a much better resource guide than a day to day planning guide.
