HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business: Think Big, Buy Small, Own Your Own Company (HBR Guide Series)

Good concise and detailed summary.

I love the easy to read language used in this book. I recommend this book to all first time acquisition entrepreneurs. This book will get you grounded as you look for your first purchase. Cheers to your success!

This is a very comprehensive and useful book. It takes the reader chronologically through the business-buying process, making it both enjoyable to read from front to bad but also very useful as a quick-reference took for various aspects of the process. Only negative is that I don't think they spend enough time on the downside of buying a business. They talk about the dangers of not finding one to buy, but they don't paint a thorough or realistic enough picture of how tough it can be once you're in it, especially if a crisis hits. But overall - a great tool and highly recommended.

This book is a good starting point if you are thinking about buying or selling a business. They pretty much cover all the bases and describe things to look for and things to avoid. I like the book.

It is thorough and outlines the process very well. Read this to save yourself a lot of money and time

Written in a conversational style and easy to follow the approach and strategy to finding and buying a small business.

Was a very insightful read I appreciate all the nuances that it walked you through as well as the big picture it painted.

It’s a good book for someone that is starting from a place without any knowledge on sourcing, buying and owning a businss
