5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone thinking of buying a business!!, October 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Buyer's Kit: Everything You Need to Know to Find, Buy, & Finance a Business for $500,000 or Less (Paperback)
Having read a lot of business books that try too hard to impress, I found this book conveyed a complex subject in such a simple way that I felt like throwing in my day job come Monday. I am planning to become an entrepreneur in the near future, and now feel 100% more prepared to face the risks.

Even if you're planning to start a business from scratch, I'd highly recommend that you first get your hands on a copy. The author really paints a powerful picture in favor of acquisition and teaches you how you can instantly have a positive cashflow.

Also, where most similar titles gloss over how you should find a business to buy, I can see that the strategy Mr. Smorenburg has developed to match your aptitude to the marketplace makes all the sense in the world and is bound to save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Even if you don't read the book and only use the 300-question checklist at the back, the book is worth ten times its cover price. But don't just stop there, I can highly recommend giving it a read from cover to cover and passing it on to people you like and care about. This is a handbook that offers practical experience in a simple and easy to read format.

I really could not recommend it more highly. Excellent, excellent, excellent. I was very impressed - clearly an author with heaps of experience in the real world.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Knock-Off, November 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Buyer's Kit: Everything You Need to Know to Find, Buy, & Finance a Business for $500,000 or Less (Paperback)
Disappointing. I found this book to be a knockoff of Richard A. Joseph's earlier book, "How To Buy A Business" (Publ. 1994) - which I recommend over this. This book (Business Buyer's Kit) does appear to have some seemingly original value in the "Checklist" appendices at the book's end. Although somewhat simple and limited, they do provide the novice a basis for getting organized and doing research. For my money, Richard A. Joseph's, "How To Buy A Business", is a better value.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would be in trouble without Business Buyer's Kit!, April 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Buyer's Kit: Everything You Need to Know to Find, Buy, & Finance a Business for $500,000 or Less (Paperback)
I had a chance to hear an interview with Mr. Smorenburg on the Bloomberg Business Radio the other day and really was impressed with his knowledge of business acquisition. I bought his book and found it as informative as he was on radio. It's a great book that brings reality into any of your decisions. Mr. Smorenburg and his book are a fantastic source of information. I have since emailed him and he's always made the time to answer any questions I had. I highly recomend this book and Mr. Smorenburg for any advice on your business acquisition.
