By A Customer
This review is from: How To Obtain Business Loans: An Insider's Guide (Paperback)
Parker, a former banker, takes us throughthe incomprehensible logic of banking loans. Do the terms "dinosaur brains" or "ostrich management" have meaning to you? They will after you're done with this book.

The auther utilizes a genial, anecdotal writing style that leads you through the loan and approval process by retelling his personal experiences. His stories teach without being dry or scholarly. There are no lectures here, no dogma, and no sermonizing. The author genuinely wants us to understand the industry so we can succeed.

Parkers' message is clear. Banks are large, highly structured, highly regulated institutions that are unable to handle, or comprehend, the entrepreneural world that they make their living from. If half of what he writes is true I'm surprised his sanity lasted long enough for him to escape.

Please buy this book and read it. You'll either learn a lot, laugh a lot, or groan at the incomprehensibiltiy of this system. I did all three.
