“As an observer of small business, it has long struck me that there was so little information available in easily readable form for the new entrepreneur. Then Fran McGuckin’s book came on the scene offering a simple, step-by-step guide and I thought, Hallelujah, at last someone has offered a thorough course in business start-up that’s understandable by the neophyte. I congratulate Fran, because Business For Beginners fills the niche that no one seemed to want to fill.”
Tony Wanless, Money and Small Business Writer, The Province

“I’m only halfway through your book and I have to honestly say that it is one of the best, if not the best book on small business that I have read—and I’ve read a lot in my time. I have found that most other small biz books are too institutional, which in most cases creates confusion, not clarity. I think it would be safe for me to say that there is genius in your simplicity.”
Mike Phipps, Marketing Manager, Delta Chamber of Commerce
“It’s a great book! You are to be congratulated on having written such an informative and interesting book... It is a valuable contribution for both new business owners and as a small business information resource.”
