This book gave me an excellent overview of ways to share equity with my employees. After reading the book in one evening, I felt I had a good grasp on all of the plans. It gave a great overview of stock options, 401(K)'s, ESOP's, Stock Purchase Plans, Stock bonuses, and Phantom Stock and detailed the tax and accounting consequences of plan implementation in lamens english.

I was amazed I could implement all of these equity sharing methods even though I am a privately held company.

The book still sits on my desk as a reference.

I have used the Entrepreneur's Guide for several years. It is an excellent tool - comprehensive yet easy to understand and logically organized. It presents a very complex area in a clear fashion that goes a long way to helping the interested person decide on a general approach to equity compensation that will fit their needs and help reach their goals for a very reasonable cost. I recommend it to anyone considering exploring an equity compensation strategy of any kind.

I found this quite useful as a concise reference to the legal and tax implications of various forms of stock compensation.

Terrible book and great disappointment. It's too much outlined with little elaberation. The authers just assume the readers already have great comprehensives how employee equity compenstion works and all the tax isses reated, such as section 1042. But for those who are knowledgable enough, then this book will be too much ABC. I'll return the book
