`The student of entrepreneurship will find this book a valuable resource as it will go a long way to redressing any gaps in their understanding of due diligence...

In this book, the authors, who have both bought and sold several businesses, reveal creative and low cost ways to do your own diligence in investigating entrepreneurial opportunities.
