What readers say about this book. ————————————————————————————————————-
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve spent several years studying Business Studies in the UK and I learnt more in one week reading your book “Starting a Business in Australia” than in one year of studying Business Planning out of the set text books. The book is excellent value. You just stripped out all the jargon and got right down to business. Over the years I have spent hundreds of dollars in textbooks. Now I know I could have saved just by purchasing this easy to read and highly informative book. Thank you once again.
