This is an easy to read, clearly written discussion of many financial topics women need to deal with. The book is presented as a meeting of five women, with Ann Diamond as the presenter of a workshop. Each woman represents a type we can identify with: a stay at home mother with a working husband and two young children; a student just finishing college; a single career-woman earning top dollar; a newly divorced woman with two teenagers and a huge credit card debt; and a recently widowed woman nearing retirement. Each financial term or topic is introduced clearly, with the group asking clarifying questions. There are worksheets to fill out, and each form is then discussed in detail. A must-read for women unsure of their ability to deal with personal finance.

This book is just great. It was the first book I had read about accounting and it helped me a lot. If anyone wants to learn about accounting, that person should pick this book. It's easy to read and very informative.

This book is incredible. It offers a real step by step system that anyone can use. I highly rcommend it to all my friends. I am using the system to fund my college education and create my own financial freedom!

Great book, giving sound but unconvential finacial advice. I would recomend this book to anyone. Great chapters, especially the one on taxes. Hope Mr. Solomon will soon more more books, as I would buy them also. 5 stars!!!

It is a very good book, but might be rather basic for advanced financial people. However, it is very easy to follow, so it might be good.

As a trader and a quant I found this book packed with useful information. This is a must have book for every trader and researcher of tick-by-tick data.

A must buy!!

Do you have an idea ready for the marketplace? Are you eager to be a successful entrepreneur? If so, you will need money to turn your dreams into a reality. Luckily, the answers are close at hand. Robert Brown, Ph.D., an attorney, MBA and law instructor who, for over 25 years, has specialized in guiding developing companies to success, authored "2000 Financing Business Start-Ups: How to Raise Money for Emerging Companies." He and his co-author, Alan Gutterman, Ph.D., have written a highly readable and immediately useful book, offering clear and concise descriptions of all aspects of the fundraising process.

Drs. Brown and Gutterman describe the many funding sources available including: your own funds, family, friends, banks, equipment lessors, government agencies, angels, venture capitalists and, ultimately, the public markets. This book walks you carefully and comprehensively through the process of how to access each of these options.

Of immense value are appendices which include a sample business plan, term sheet, due diligence request and other important documents, forms and checklists along with extensive lists of both venture capital funding sources and bank funding sources. A CD-ROM containing all appendices is packaged with the book, allowing readers to easily personalize these forms and documents.

"2000 Financing Business Start-Ups" helps you avoid the pitfalls that many companies make in their early days which end up limiting their going public in the future. Throughout the text are compelling vignettes by CEOs, CFOs, venture capitalists and others who share their experiences about financing start-ups. In addition to the expert guidance from the authors, these stories amplify the main points of the chapters and add an authentic and personable quality to the content.

Thankfully, and as happens on only rare occasions with business and finance books, the writing is wonderfully clear and easy-to-follow. Drs. Brown and Gutterman use down-to-earth language and address this complex topic with ease and comfort. This book is a "must-read" and will serve as an important and often-used reference for years to come.
