Contraportada:

Small business guru Ed Pendarvis has a powerful message for everyone struggling with the economic uncertainties of life in these times of record job losses: "Invest in a sure thing--invest in yourself!"

Worried about losing your job to downsizing or outsourcing? Tired of working longer hours for less pay? Had it with the corporate rat-race and think you're ready to become your own person controlling your own destiny? If so, then this book is for you. It shows you how to achieve real job security and financial freedom by becoming the owner of your own small business or franchise.

But isn't going into business for yourself risky? Not necessarily. As Ed explains, small business is the most secure growth opportunity there is--especially when the business you go into has a proven track record and a loyal customer base. And, as boss of your own business, given that you'll keep more of the profits your company earns, your chances of becoming a millionaire are much greater than they would be as an employee. You'll never again have to worry about downsizing, arbitrary layoffs, or having your job outsourced to a developing nation.

As founder and head of his own successful international business brokerage firm, Ed Pendarvis knows pretty much all there is to know about matching people up with the right small businesses and franchises for them.

In Buying a Business to Secure Your Financial Freedom he draws upon his experiences, as well as the experiences of hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs around the country who've realized their dreams of financial independence, and shows you how to:

• Locate the best business or franchise for you and your family
• Determine the real value and growth prospects of a franchise
• Negotiate the best price and best payment terms and conditions
• Obtain financing at the most reasonable terms
• Complete the sale
• Protect your investment
