The Entrepreneur Magazine Small Business Advisor

Entrepreneur Magazine · 1995
71/100
👍 Worth It

This is the kind of book you keep on a shelf, not read cover to cover — plain-English worksheets and checklists for every stage from startup to sale. A veteran small-business consultant said it's the first thing they pull down for research questions, which tells you it earns its keep. Just know it's from 1995, so double-check any dollar figures, regulations, or contacts before you act on them.
