To start a successful business, you need a comprehensive toolbox full of effective financial and business techniques at your fingertips.

Entrepreneurial Finance provides the essential tools and know-how you need to build a sturdy foundation for a profitable business. This practical road map guides you from crafting a meaningful business plan to raising your business to the next level. It offers potent methods for keeping firm financial control of your enterprise and insightful tips for avoiding the multitude of financial barriers that may block your entrepreneurial dream.

Written by Steven Rogers, a leading educator at the prestigious Kellogg School of Management, this reliable guidebook covers:

  • The dual objectives of a business plan and how to ensure that both are fulfilled
  • Differences between debt and equity financing and how and why to use each
  • Real-world methods for structuring a deal to benefit both the financier and the entrepreneur
  • Valuation techniques for understanding what your business is truly worth
  • Essential resources for finding the detailed information you need

Entrepreneurial Finance clearly explains the inescapable rules of finance and business by using real-world examples and cutting-edge data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research project. It features up-to-date coverage of phantom stock, options, and the state of entrepreneurship in such countries as Canada, Europe, Asia, and South America.

This definitive guide is effective in today's business climate, with robust, no-nonsense coverage on everything from the new realities of revenue valuation and the growth of women entrepreneurs to the fallout from the dot-com boom and the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley on corporate governance.

Just because you're in business for yourself doesn't mean you're alone. Entrepreneurial Finance helps you create a long-term plan for achieving maximum profit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for small business planning to large start-up planning, March 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Entrepreneurial Finance: Finance and Business Strategies for the Serious Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
This Harvard School of Business required read was invaluable in understanding the financial mechanics, in actionable detail, on the entire landscape of smaller-than-enterprise business financials. From investments and IPO back to recommended reports and why, through selling the company and many steps in between, this fact-rich and easy reading book (technical but in plain English) is invaluable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ways to Dodge and Overcome Financial Problems within a Business, September 24, 2010
This review is from: Entrepreneurial Finance: Finance and Business Strategies for the Serious Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
Professor Steven Rogers was highlighted by Fortune magazine as one of the Top 10 Minds in Small Business which made me want to read this book. Entrepreneurial Finance provides a straightforward, practical overview of the business and financial knowledge required to become a successful entrepreneur. This book also alerts entrepreneurs about the kind of financial problems they may face and recommends actions to prevent them.

2.0 out of 5 stars There must be better choices, June 21, 2010
By 
This review is from: Entrepreneurial Finance: Finance and Business Strategies for the Serious Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
When I read on the dust jacket that the author is a professor at Kellogg, I was cautiously optimistic. And then when I read on page 13 that Google was founded by "Harry Page," I knew I should spend my study time elsewhere. (This is a second edition, so I don't accept the "typo" excuse.)

This book offers a very generic and high level overview. If you know nothing at all about entrepreneurship, you could learn something. But if you're relatively well informed, say maybe you live in Silicon Valley, or perhaps you subscribe to Inc. magazine, don't waste your time with this. Inc. magazine, anything from Nolo Press, or anything the web turns up, will provide more insight for your buck.
