How to Buy a Business without Being Had: Successfully Negotiating the Purchase of a Small Business

One of the best business books I have ever read! Best book available about buying small business! No other books comes even close .

I have looked at a lot of books on this topic and this one is by far the best. Not just *packed* with specific, useful information but also very clear to a non-expert. It is well written and full of useful examples. The author has a lifetime of experience to share. I cannot understand why, when searching Amazon's site, it took so long for this book to come up.

This book saved me a lotto of money. I was ready to buy a business but after reading Gibson's book I quickly discovered that the cash flow would not cover my debt service. The book is easy to follow and I am delighted I found it.

I bought for my daughter and husband who are thinking about buying a small business. They like it and are finding it very helpful.

It was as expected. A very good book.

i liked this book it is an easy ride and very informative

I have had the privilege of meeting this author. His passion for for helping others in business is quickly evident when he shares his stories. As a new business owner, I highly recommend that you use this book as a guide to help you build a business that buyers will be excited about finding. The information Jack Gibson shares about buying a business is rarely considered until that day you decide to sell. Read it now, refer to it often and when that day comes, you will surely get top dollar for your business. If you're in the market to buy a business, this book pulls the curtains back and helps you assign value or liability to what your're seeing. Contrary to what the Wizard of Oz said, you really must pay attention to what's behind the curtain.

This is an excellent book. I often get to talk to people who are looking to buy a business and I always recommend that they get this book, read it and use it as part of their buying process. It is well written and clearly communicates all of the essentials of buying a business. It is straight forward and a great purchase if you are just thinking of buying a business. I gave it 5 stars because I didn't have an option to give it 6.
