Review

A well-written book for the business owner who does not want to get bogged down in theoretical and technical terminology as he or she thinks about retirement, selling the business, or stepping aside...Long overdue on the market...It is a must. --American Institute of Small Business

If you are starting a business, thinking of bringing in family members or loyal employees, or looking for a way to bow out gracefully: Get this book, read this book and act on the advice. --The Denver Post

Over the last five years, John Brown has spoken to hundreds of CPAs across the country. The response to his well-organized and handson seminars has been overwhelmingly positive. Comments from participants like How To Run Your Business is great because it is a tool I can use, are the rule, not the exception. --Diane S. Weiser, Director, CPE Department, Colorado Society of CPAs

This represents a completely revised edition from the first: more than 50% of the text is new, entire chapters have been added on business valuation and sales, and the result is a contemporary guide which goes beyond most; especially in the area of tax planning. Real life case studies and progressive checklists tell how to create and maintain business value through any sales transaction. --Midwest Book Review
