Rating:  Summary: Excellent book for those in the B-Quadrant (or want to be) Review: Having a business without being incorporated is like driving a car without insurance. I was confused about corporations, which kind and didn't want to go to a "expert" untill I understood how the process works. This book did just that.
Rating:  Summary: Get a hard copy version Review: I bought the pdf and am having a difficult time printing. I'd rather get my money back and by a hardcopy instead. The book is very useful for learning about the workings of corporations. But not being able to print makes it not worth the money to me.
Rating:  Summary: A MUST-HAVE BOOK FOR ENTREPRENEURS! Review: I have been teaching business management for thirty years, and every once in a while I come across a book that stands out from the rest. This is one of those books. One of the biggest mistakes new entrepreneurs can make is in thinking that owning your own business is quick and simple and anyone can do it. Well, many people have opened their doors for business, but statistics prove that many will also fall by the wayside in a very short time. In Canada, 35% of new businesses fail within the first year, 70% fail in the first five years and after ten years, the failure rate jumps to 85%. Three of the main reasons are lack of business management skills, an insufficient need and demand for the product/service, and insufficient financial resources for start-up and working capital. There is no question three of a businesses best resources are going to be your lawyer, accountant and banker. As this book will point out, entrepreneurs need a clear understanding of basic business principles and how to best credit-proof themselves to prevent loss of assets. Through the pages of the book, readers will come to understand that owning your own business can be truly rewarding if you have the know-how, commitment and financial resources to not only get the business off the ground but to keep the doors open and make a profit. There are so many aspects of owning a business that an inexperienced entrepreneur does not even considered, and this book will definitely warn one of the potential pitfalls before they happen. If you are considering starting your own business and have little experience in managing a business, this book is for you. Even those who are already in business for themselves will benefit. Like anything else in life, we can never know it all and anything we learn will benefit us down the road. Overall, this is a great book, highly recommended and most deserving of a five-star rating.
Rating:  Summary: Good book - ignore the critics Review: I have read several books on setting up a corporation and still found many useful nuggets of information in here.Garrett Sutton is a legitimate authority and knows what he is talking about unlike some of the other books that are creeping up on the market place today...
Rating:  Summary: Definitely NOT for the layperson Review: I learned nothing from the book. I was even more confused after I read it. There were no documents to show how to fill out any information. I don't recommend forming your own corporation by yourself. I wanted to take the easy way out, but realized I would've made a mistake. Instead, I took a seminar and I accomplished a lot more and got more than enough information to set one up. Of course, it costs a lot more to do so. However, it is the best alternative. Reading this book almost discouraged me from moving forward. I do recommend reading RICH DAD POOR DAD. It was an easy read,offered a great understanding of developing rich habits, but not very informative on real estate investing.

Rating:  Summary: Very Disappointing Review: I purchased this book expected to get some insight on how the rich use company ownership to grow their wealth. Instead, this book is a rehash on how to start and set up your own company. The material can be found in any one of the hundreds of reference books already out there. Disappointing.
Rating:  Summary: Heard him speak/teach Review: I recently went to a Rich Dad Seminar where half a dozen experts spoke, including, Mr. Sutton. His advice and thoughts were thoughtful, purposeful and sanguine. I particularly learned that for my own business purposes the structure which was necessary. The differences and uses of a S Corp, C Corp and so on (LLC, LLP) were explained and outlined to my ecstatic satisfaction. I recommend this book for anyone who is thinking about starting a business or who already has. What he will teach you is invaluable and the book itself is a tax deduction. It also contains a special deal to use his national firms resources. I think it would also behoove a businessperson to obtain all of the Rich Dad Series of books. For around a hundred dollars you can get a clear picture of what is necessary to think, know and feel for a business as well as what to do with money and where to find it.
Rating:  Summary: The best one I've read Review: I've reviewed a couple of other corporation forming type books. This one is the best I've read yet. Deals with Nevada corporations. Explains taxes, benefits, loopholes, etc. Probably not totally complete, afterall, if you're a lawyer, you need something that is thicker and harder to understand, I'm sure, but for the rest of us, this book seems to cover the iformation well enough. I'd recommend it to any thinking about starting a business or any that are in business and have not yet incorporated.
