How to Evaluate and Profit from a Business Opportunity is a very practical book for the person looking to start a business but needing advice on how to start. But the difference is Art Consoli discusses buying a piece of property, opening a dress boutique, starting a consulting practice, and other common everyday businesses. Each is explored with patience and experience of a man that has owned and operated 50 businesses because that is exactly what Art has done!

    4 out of 5 stars for evaluating simple business opportunities...this is it!.......2002-04-27

    This is a small, little 'no-frills' book...more precisely, a booklet! My copy is actually a badly-stitched photostatic copy from the publisher. Fortunately, the contents of the book outweighed the book's poor aesthetics.

    The 32 pages of the book are jam-packed with appropriate advice for anyone who wants to go into business for himself as fast as possible with the least risk, time and money.

    In 9 easy steps, and the help of many thoughtful questions as a checklist, the author shows you how to spot and evaluate simple business opportunities, in addition to explaining to you the various types or configurations of business opportunities available in today's marketplace.

    1: What are the available facts?
    2: How to give it an acid test?
    3: Who will buy the product or service?
    4: Who are my competitors?
    5: What and how do I need to invest?
    6: How to avoid front loading?
    7: What are the supports available?
    8: Who are these people?
    9: How are they financially?

    In a nut shell, the whole system from the author is actually very simple and straight-forward.

    Get a copy. You can successfully evaluate simple business opportunities with power and confidence.
