Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
How to Buy And/or Sell a Small Business for Maximum Profit
René V. Richards · 2013
71/100
👍 Worth It
This handbook is genuinely comprehensive for novice buyers and sellers, covering valuation methods and legal process together in a way that most introductory business books skip. The 2013 revision is showing its age on digital business valuation and the companion CD-ROM is a relic, but the structural logic of evaluating and transacting a small business has not changed. Useful as a foundation if you supplement with current sources.
