Excellent Book For The Novice,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Buy a Business (Paperback)
I found Joseph's book to be highly readable and well organized. Clearly it is directed at the novice business buyer, and presents only the basic material to get the novice started. However, he touches on all the important points in a business acquisition and covers the material well. Although somewhat dated (Publ. 1994), especially regarding business legal forms, it still provides the foundation for more in-depth reading and research. For the first time business buyer, this is the first book to read.

Great reference for anyone looking to buy a business,
By
This review is from: How To Buy a Business (Paperback)
The information in this book is worth reading by anyone searching for a business to buy. Though it could use an update (it was originally published in 1993), the insights of the authors are thought-provoking and well-reasoned. You will find lots of good food for thought, here.It's got some weaknesses: tax info is outdated; a few topics seem irrelevant (like advice on buying a PC?!); and the templates for things like the Letter of Intent are bare-bones. But the strengths far outweigh the weaknesses. The commentary and wisdom of the authors (who have bought and sold companies) makes this book shine. If you're pursuing an acquisition of less than $1 million, this book will be invaluable. For those pursuing larger acquisitions, you too will find the info helpful, but hiring professional help will be a must!
