As we approach the launch of my new book, Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition: A Legal Guide to Buying a Small Business, I want to share with you reasons a few reasons why this book will be a great resource for you. It will help you: 1. Level the playing field in an imbalanced information game: When you're buying a business, especially for the first time, the seller will always know more about the business than you do. This 'information asymmetry' puts you, as a buyer, at a disadvantage. This book helps you identify the questions you should ask, what to include in your due diligence, and how to better protect yourself legally despite the information asymmetry. 2. Navigate the operational unknowns: Buying a new business involves tackling new operations, employees, and challenges. This book offers legal insights to support you in maximizing your success in a transition along with managing risks tied to operations and management. 3. Understand your personal financial risk: Most acquisition loans require a personal guarantee, which usually puts your personal assets at risk. This book explains how to understand, evaluate, and manage your exposure. 4. Move from uncertainty to informed action: Buying a business is a complex, high stakes process with considerable legal implications. Regardless of your background in M&A, this book provides a roadmap for navigating the complexity with greater clarity, confidence, and control.

This is great ^redacted‌. There aren’t many resources out there on the legal side of ETA, and I think this will be a valuable addition for anyone in the space.
