Superficial
I found the contents of this book to be very generic and almost superficial. The comments were at times so generic, they were meaningless. If you are a 7th grader "dreaming" of buying a business some day, maybe this book is good enough. If you are serious about buying a business, and want concrete advice, examples and guidance, than look elsewhere. I found BUYOUT, by Rick Rikertsen much more informative; while it dealt with somewhat larger business transactions than most would be involved in, the advice and examples apply to buying any size business. Spend the little extra and get BUYOUT.

A Great Intro!
I work as a business intermediary assisting clients in both selling and buying their business. I always recommend that first-time business buyers purchase and read this book.

Complete, realistic and a requirement for small biz buyers
This is the second book I have read regarding buying a business, and I have found it to be extremely informative whether you are buying a business in the middle market (the market the book covers), or a smaller business. The book covers a methodology to follow, what to expect from a seller, who to get involved, and even has sample forms for your use. In fact, I used the Intent to Purchase agreement in the book for an offer, and was told by my lawyer that it was the most comprehensive he has seen, one he plans to put into his 'Hall of Fame' Folder.
