Business Planning Essentials For Dummies

Veechi Curtis · 2015
62/100
👎 Skip It

This condensed companion from accountant Veechi Curtis hits the essentials — competitive strategy, budgeting, target markets — in a tight 169 pages, good if you want a quick primer rather than a deep dive. It's a lighter version of her fuller book, so depth is limited, and I found no independent reviews to back up how well it delivers even on the basics. Fine as a quick-reference, not a standout.
