Reader Reviews
I recently formed an LLC and wished I had read this book first, it would have saved me a lot of wasted time and money. It really is light years ahead of the other similar books I purchased both in information provided, and in the easy to read way it's presentated. What I especially like about it is everything is put into the proper context and all the dots are connected in a way that really helps the reader make sense of how a LLC should fit into their total business plan... I can't recommend this book enough. Comment | | (Report this)
