This review is from: Small Firm Finance (Dryden Press Series in Finance) (Paperback)

The book focuses an many specific aspects of funding small business. The language (for non-english native speakers) is simple and easy to read. In the book there are not to many mathematical equations and if they are they are easy to understand. Very nice book for entrepreneurs or managers of small business in understanding specifics of financing small venture.
