"SMALL BUSINESS PRIMER is a seminar by Samuel S. Tuttle, CCIM offered in an easily accessible book form for the non-specialist, general reader. This superbly presented "how to" manual is filled with cogently presented, step-by-step instructions to improve one's negotiating and decision-making skills, including how to evaluate and size up a business to buy or sell, and the risks and rewards that come with such transactions.

A practical, go-get-em book with a useful message easily absorbed by readers of all experience levels, SMALL BUSINESS PRIMER is a thorough, comprehensive, highly recommended selection of first-class financial wisdom specific to the assessment, acquisition, and profitable disposal of any business regardless of its nature, size, or complexity."

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
From The Business Shelf

"Plain talk from the heavily-credentialed Tuttle hits the mark for its effectiveness, Breezily imparting tips and techniques galore, applicable to both business beginners and pros.

Subject areas covered include: buying and selling a business, how to choose the right one, primary documents needed for sales and purchase, and the big one - where to get financing.

An excellent appendix and resource section complete the package, leaving nothing else to conclude than this one is exactly what it claims to be: a full-fledged seminar in a book (and a good one at that)."

"...both informative and interesting ... reads like a folksy college text book. I can almost hear your voice as you share insightful examples and 'Street Smarts'. .not only entertaining, but also an excellent reference book that I will keep in my library."

".simple, straightforward language says this is a business book, not an academic exercise in theoretical prose. Sam, the person, comes through.style projects a lot of respect for the reader. Many how-to authors proclaim they are the fruit of the tree of knowledge..you give us the roots of the tree."
