Buying and selling a business - Jo Haigh

For many the dream of owning their own business remains just that - even if you have a great idea, the work and money involved in building a business from the ground up can prove too daunting. What few aspiring entrepreneurs realise is that buying an already existing business can be far easier to accomplish, sometimes with little or no money at all, and can be just as satisfying a route to self-sufficiency. Corporate financier Jo Haigh helps people buy and sell businesses every day, and in her new book, she shows readers how achievable - and rewarding - the experience can be. In easy-to-follow language, Buying and Selling a Business takes you through the entire process, from identifying your target business and assembling the right team to help you, to valuation, agreeing terms and finding the necessary finance. Just as important, Haigh helps you ensure your deal is the right deal for you, offering advice on running the business you buy and implementing proper exit strategies from the start. With valuable appendices containing typical documentation (letters of intent, confidentiality agreements, etc) and how to read them, Jo Haigh's book is a one-stop resource to closing the deal - and transforming your life.
