My husband came home with this book last week. I am considering buying a business of great interest to me, but I have next to no experience with retail. He has his doubts about the whole “dummies” series, but thought maybe it would help me. We both found the text to be vague, as I was looking for concrete definitions to some of the unfamiliar business terms which the book did not provide. At the same time, the suggestions for running a small business were ridiculously obvious and downright condescending. The book went back to the store, and I ordered a copy of Specialty Shop Retailing (How To Run Your Own Store) by Carol L Schroeder from my local library. I would HIGHLY recommend this book, and once I finish reading entirely I’ll take the time to provide a thorough review. But really, the book has a great layout and it’s enjoyable reading.

I was sorely disappointed by the contents of this book which is written by an attorney who clearly works with venture capital funded businesses and who doesn’t understand a true small business.

I was pretty savvy about starting a business but I needed something which would remind me to do things which might not have found their way into my checklist. This book kept me on track and made it much easier to do what I needed to do and become protected where I needed protection. Parts of this book are indeed outdated and some are as fresh and enduring as can be but it is a supremely useful tool if for the documents you want on disc, boilerplates for a variety of situations, and more. Read this book and do what it says. Yes, it’s a pain in the *ss to make up a business plan, just go do it. Yes, it hurts to take a cold eyed look at your finances, just go do it. Wow, I really hate to think that someone would steal my intellectual property just because I don’t have a copyright, or that some nice lady would sue me for any reason at all… It can and does happen. This book helps you to protect yourself before any trouble can crash your dreams for you. How to incorporate, what sort of tax repercussions you can expect, employing others, web sites (a bit outdated but still at least the basics), it’s all here.
So, get this book, read it, and do what it tells you to do and nobody will get hurt.

This book is exactly what you need to start a small business. Legal Zoom was going to charge me over $700.00!
