This review is from: The Small Business Owner's Guide to Bankruptcy (Paperback)

If small business bankruptcy is on your mind, you may be experiencing a few sleepless nights. Rather than reaching for the sleeping pills, stay up with this clear, brief and sympathetic introduction to bankruptcy laws and how they function. The authors, attorneys Wes and Wendell Schollander, walk the small-business owner through a typical bankruptcy, pointing out the traps to avoid. You do not need to read it from cover to cover since most chapters stand alone. Although that results in some repetition, we recommend this book both to small business owners in a financial jam or those who are worried they might be, and to anyone who wants to understand bankruptcy basics without paying for a single billable hour of attorney time.
