5.0 out of 5 stars All-Encompassing Book on Partnerships, July 27, 2000

By 

BRAD F NEFF (ROCK HILL, SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Partnership Book: How to Write a Partnership Agreement (Partnership Book (W/CD)) (Paperback)

I found this title to be all-encompassing if you're considering entering into a partnership - whether it's an existing partnership or whether you're starting up a new partnership. In fact, I purchased another title on this same topic and I ended up returning it because I didn't see where it covered anything that wasn't already covered in The Partnership Book. I feel much more comfortable entering into a partnership after reading this book as I feel that I now have the necessary information to make proper decisions. I strongly urge anyone considering entering into a partnership to read this book.

This book gives you an excellent foundation for writing a partnership agreement. It saves tremendously on the cost of having a lawyer write the whole agreement. We just had to use a lawyer to insure nothing was omitted.

I got this book based on an old boyfriend's recommendation, so I could solve some issues with a business partner of mine. Very worthwhile! Lots of great information & it's worth the investment, for sure. Thank you, Manabu-sama for the recommendation!
