5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Practical, August 31, 2000
By 
Shahab Mehraban (Phoenix, Az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business (Paperback)
Of the many books available in this area, this one stands out due to its abundance of practical insights and forms, sample contracts, worksheets, spreadsheets,etc.

As it covers the processes involved from both a buyer and seller point of view, the insights are extremely useful. The valuation chapters cut through the theoretical overkill of many similar books and provide the reader with a practical yet substantial overview of business valuation.

Excellent book!

4.0 out of 5 stars I've read several on the topic but buy this book, April 18, 2002

This review is from: The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business (Paperback)
Highly recommended! I have read several books on the topic and have bought/sold my own businesses. This is a very good book, and may be the only one you need to buy (the only other additional book would be a more detailed review on valuation). It is complete, crisp, easy to read, has many good ideas on creative financing, good sample douments, handy checklists etc. I also have read Yegge's book "A Basic Guide on Buying and Selling .." which wanders too much and is verbose - don't buy it. Smorenburg's " Business Buyers Kit" is good, but not as comprehensive as this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you need to buy or sell a business, August 12, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business (Paperback)
If you are buying or selling a business, or just want to know the value of your company, this is the only book you need. I read several others, but this covers everything they do and in more detail, plus it's all in one book. The purchase agreements are excellent. The book is very detailed. After reading it you know exactly what to do. But I did not find it boring or hard to follow at all.
