Limited-partnership

I recently bought this book and found it to be very informative and to the point. I looked at other books, but most were wordy. My time is limited and I needed a book that would provide me the info without the fluff. There is a good state information section that provides info like Addresses, URLs, Legal URLs, Name Requirements, and form descriptions. The actual forms are not provided but the resource is given. I would recommend this book for someone looking for enough information to answer your questions and give you guidance in going forward.

This book breaks what you need to know to form an LLC down nicely and easily by chapter. You can skip around if you'd like, but I wanted to make sure I knew everything about the topic and read it straight through. Full of helpful examples to illustrate the concepts just presented. Definitely recommend to others looking to learn about corporate structures and most specifically, the LLC.

The organization of this book makes corporate and partnership tax law more approachable than I ever thought possible! Kwall's use of Examples throughout the book takes concepts and makes them concrete. Clarity is further gained through Problems he provides which often mimic the Examples so that you can try them on your own. The division of the book into sections on Contributions, Distributions, and Operations also allows a good side-by-side comparison of the various tax consequences of different business entities. Excellent. Highly recommend it for anyone struggling to grasp such dense material.

This guide was of invaluable assistance to me in forming my new corporation. It makes what can be a daunting task seem relatively simple: it is clearly written, well-organized, and extremely thorough, and its tone is friendly and encouraging. Not only does it have the (correct!) phone numbers, addresses, and fax numbers for all the relevant filing agencies, but any forms that you might need are available electronically, at no additional cost, from the author. Staff is also available by phone to answer questions; I called several times and found them to be consistenly helpful and responsive. I can't recommend this book highly enough if you are planning to start your own business!

Dean is a great writer, his background positions him well for this book. He is a family man doing what many need to do, start a small business and keep food on the table and insurance laying in wait. This is the perfect guide for starting you small business. The forms are there, the bylaws are there, explaining the stock even helped me understand some things about corporate law I didn't know about. Dean makes the law real and easy to understand. Thanks for wading through the mumbo-jumbo and getting the real nuggets, we will all flourish thanks to your work. Be advised Dean is not advising you legally, but identifying steps any one would need to take to start there small business. In some cases you still may need a lawyer, but this book can help you identify the key areas you need check. It allows you to talk about the issues with your CPA and Attorney, overall it's GREAT!!!

Jack Williams is at his best. A must read for anyone interested in bankruptcy.

I gave Mr. Crouch 5 stars because it is obvious that he is not simply repeating the same old thing I can find in most other books relating to corporations and LLCs and their benefits. He walks you through most of the technical matters in a tutorial way, explaining the significance of different laws and what they say & don't say. He provides much food for thought that I found nowhere else. He is a breath of fresh air after reading extensively on these topics. This book should be on your shelf if you own, manage, or have a need to learn about LLCs.

This audio program is the real deal ... Linda Chandler tells all the secrets of the investment banking club. If you have to raise capital, don't proceed until you listen to this 6 hours of solid advice. Linda pulls no punches... and reveals the secrets of the Financial Temple. I found this a very helpful and practical guide... certainly cheaper than 1 hour at a securities lawyer's office.

This audio program should really be required listening for all entrepreneurs and all business owners who want to build their companies to the next level. Linda pulls no punches; she really tells it like it is.

I found her program very practical. She discussed various strategies for capital raising ... and offered astute approaches to how to present your deal to investment sources, including private angels, corporate investors and venture capital firms. My advice: get this audio album that is invaluable to anyone who is truly serious about successfully building a major business venture.

I got these audio tapes by Linda Chandler 4 years ago...and have listened to them 4-5 times over that time period. They are valuable when faced with the challenge of raising capital for a new venture. I have also loan these tapes to associates and everyone has been impressed with their quality, substance, and advice. I strongly recommend that you listen to this audio program, both part 1 and part 2 before you visit potential investors or your securities attorney.

I want to make it clear. I am a supporter of greater utilization of faith-based congregations and organizations delivering welfare services. When reading A Limited Partnership I had preconceived opinions about what to expect from Bob Wineburg. I just knew he would use his wit and persuasive voice to stifle the momentum faith-based initiatives has been gaining around the country. Another social work scholar pushing his extreme liberal agenda. By the end of Chapter one (Devolution or Devilution), the reader will be surprised (as was I) by the author's recognition of the extensive network of services already delivered by faith-based organizations. Likewise, while summarizing the history of devolution he is clear in making the distinction between the Christian right and mainstream religious efforts. Particularly enlightening is the distinction between the political attention and policy debate drawn by the Christian right in shaping welfare reform and the actual provision of services being delivered more by the domain of mainline American religious denominations. This becomes support for the general thesis of the book. Politicians and the Christian right's ideological political agenda is an agenda without prudent planning or understanding of what is already in place and how it will play out at the local level. Dr. Wineburg does not criticize politicians or the Christian right for their lack of data that can guide policy development. Instead, he quickly turns in Chapter two (A Blip in History or a Slip in the Academy), to an apparent archaic system in higher education that finds value only in research that can be generalizable and devoted only to issues at the national level. Policy-makers and the public need solid objective information about the cultures and operations of welfare service delivery at the local level. In the author's words, "The academic community skipped by the most dramatic shift in policy in more than half a century because it was not geared up to study local changes, even though most of the action took place locally." He ends chapter 2 with a list of ten areas of research in need before moving further with policy implementation at the local level. The academic world would be wise to heed his advice to collaborate with colleagues of different disciplines, create incentives for conducting local research, and slowly build models of new and testable policy theory by comparing research done at the local level one community at a time. In Chapters three through six Dr. Wineburg reviews his experiences and results of over twenty years of studying the human service system of Greensboro, North Carolina. He narrows the lenses of readers to consider the complex, interconnected, formal and informal relationships of this one mid-sized city. At the completion of chapter six, there is little doubt that to consider welfare policy from the top down, without understanding unique cultures of each local system will result in chaos. This view is further substantiated by references to similar findings in other areas. The most disturbing being an account of First Baptist Church of Philadelphia where policy makers, without any initial planning or assessment, cut a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and assumed that people could be diverted to AA and NA programs provided at the church. The result being vandalism and stolen property, added expense of having to hire a security firm to protect the facility, and worse the church becoming a place not of voluntary giving and love, but more like any other governmental service, the politicians were hoping to end. Using the metaphor of a superhighway infrastructure in any urban area the point is made vividly clear in chapter7. Again in Dr. Wineburg's words, "The volume of traffic does not dwindle because of road construction or an accident - it may go elsewhere - but just as an unaddressed social problem leads to other problems, the diverted traffic will eventually stack up somewhere else." As a strong supporter of faith-based organizations, I believe the book does not give enough credit to the biblical merits of providing human services through more informal faith-based methods. The delivery of charitable services as an expression of ones religious beliefs should not be minimized, nor should it be viewed as secondary to any other consideration when developing public welfare policy. Nevertheless, A Limited Partnership is a timely book. This is not an intellectual exercise by an uninformed academician. Instead, it is a relevant, to the point account of the realities of welfare policy from the federal government to the local community. I would advise policymakers, present and future scholars, clergymen, and anyone interested in developing partnerships with faith-based communities to read the book before taking another step towards implementing any community partnership or program.
