Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not Impressed! Comment: Simple yes, worth the price, no! This book took 40 minutes to read, and I gained virtually no new information from it. It is a small book, fewer than 100 pages, with oversized type. It contains very basic information, if you know anything about forming a company or already have some business experience this book is a waste of your time and money. I wish I had chosen something else instead. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy read covering the big picture Comment: I'm looking to form a business with some investors, and I know very little about doing so. After reading the book, I decided to form a partnership that may grow into a corporation one day. The book is an easy read and is accurately described by the title. It is well organized and concisely explains the different business forms in terms of: a general overview, taxation, and legal considerations. Customer Rating: Summary: A simple, yet thorough, examination Comment: It's tough to find a decent, simple, easy-to-follow examination of the differences between an LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp. When my accountant started telling me about this stuff, my head nearly imploded. Further research on making the right choice wasn't helpful at all. In fact, in some cases, it only made things worse. But this book was as illuminating as the big, shiny lightbulb on its cover. I even uncovered a key item that my accountant had forgotten to mention. Can't recommend this book enough. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful primer on the subject Comment: This is an outstanding introductory book that can be read in an evening or two. The material is written clearly and would be easily accessible to virtually anyone. No prior knowledge of the subject is required. This book completely demystifies the subject of sole-proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations and provides a good foundation for further study. Customer Rating: Summary: A basic overview - just what I needed Comment: Mr. Piper's book provides an excellent introduction to the major ways a business can legally organize in the United States. I acquired this book to prepare myself to meet with my tax attorney to discuss whether and how I ought to incorporate. Based on what I learned from this book, I was able to approach my attorney with sufficient knowledge to ask him more in-depth questions that pertained to my specific situation. This saved me time and money. The only major improvement I would make to the book is to illustrate, in table form, the key characteristics of each major incorporation structure. I will refer to this book again in the future and do not plan to supplement it or replace it with another book of its type. Ken Florian More Reviews
