* You want to make certain you take care of all the details of getting a business underway, organize the process, and get some good advice.
* You’re going to start a business soon and need a plan on how to go about it.
* You have an idea for a business but don’t know where to start.

You probably do not need this book if:
* You’ve been in business many years, and you’re not expanding or changing your business significantly.
