  A waste of time.
  
  This book is light and superficial. Although I found the writing entertaining, the help I was looking for is missing from this book.

  Keep Looking
  
  I bought 6 books on purchasing a business via Amazon. This is the only one that is not worth looking at. While Mr. Yegge might be a nice fellow, he desperately needs an editor. His opinions are overbearing and presented in such a confusing manner as to undermine any worth at all.

  To add insult to injury, Mr. Yeggie keeps stating that it is necessary to purchase his other book if you want to value a company. It would have been easy to include it here -- the other five books I read did just that.

  I don't know that I could write any better -- but there are a lot of authors out there who can.

  Cheers

  Fantastic for small to medium private co.
  
  A step by step approach on how to get your business prepared to sell, how to evaluate it by 5 different objective methods. Simple, concise presentation with a lot of common sense. Contains ideas on how to market the business either directly or with brokers. Fantastic!!

  Essential Reading for Buyers AND Sellers
  
  Excellent analysis of the basic principles and human dynamics of buying and selling small to medium sized businesses. Gives special attention to the interests, motivations and needs of sellers in particular. Well written, humorous, insightful.

  real world, practical advice from a "player"
  
  having bought a medium size business, and read a few books on the subject, i found this the best summary to date of all types of relavant PRACTICAL information - such as buyers and sellers psychological approaches.

  best for small business (under $1MM sales), and lacking in info about mergers or larger companies acquiring a small business and consolidating it.

  very readable
