Rating:  Summary: OWN YOUR OWN CORPORATION by GARRETT SUTTON Review: As a owner of various companies, I look for books that will provide insight on limiting liabilities while maximizing profits. The author has suceeded with this book because it's written with a straight forward approach that breaks down difficult corporate terms into terms that anyone can understand. This was achieved by showing examples of certain situations and unknown facts that can happen to any individual or company.I really like how the book explains all aspects of different types of corporations to establish depending on each individuals goal to keep their company private or go public. At the same time, the book teaches you various ways to protect your personal assets from your business assets. Just this section alone will eventually save you thousands in personal asset protection. Most importantly, I've read hundreds of books about corporations, asset protection, public or private, etc. with the majority being very boring with fancy terms that's hard to understand. This book was so enjoyable with simple terms and exciting case situations, I read the entire book without putting it down. I'm now re-reading it and underlining many facts that will be shared with my corporate paid professionals on various situations that my company needs to be protected against. I had no idea but thanks to your book, I do now. Finally, This book is a "MUST" read for anyone starting a corporation and a "MANDATORY" read for any owner of an existing corporation. Thanks to the author, Garrett Sutton, I'm now working smarter, counting more net profit and sleeping comfortably in my personally protected home.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book for those in the B-Quadrant (or want to be) Review: Easy to read. I formed a C corporation with Mr. Sutton's firm after reading this book. They took care of all that legal mumbo jumbo so I could focus on building my business. I was trapped in big corporations for 20 years - this book helped me understand how to get started...and the "right way" to protect my assets as an entrepreneur. I only have time to read 2-3 business books a year. I'm glad this was one of them.

Rating:  Summary: Must read for anyone forming a corporation or business. Review: Garret Sutton does an excellent job explaining various corporations to meet particular needs. C, S and LLC corporations are covered thoroughly. I was talking to a friend the other day who is in the process of srting his own business. He didn't realize (many don't) the different corporations that are available. Own your Own Corporation will give you the knowledge to take to your attorney and start your own corporation properly. You'll be in control. Taxes and lawsuits are two of the biggest deterrents to building and keeping wealth. Sutton explains how to substantially reduce taxes (even FICA!) and insulate yourself from the something for nothing crowd that love to sue successful business people. Own Your Own Corporation is a must read for anyone in business or anyone who is contemplating forming a corporation and laucnhing a business.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book for those in the B-Quadrant (or want to be) Review: Having a business without being incorporated is like driving a car without insurance. I was confused about corporations, which kind and didn't want to go to a "expert" untill I understood how the process works. This book did just that.
Rating:  Summary: Get a hard copy version Review: I bought the pdf and am having a difficult time printing. I'd rather get my money back and by a hardcopy instead. The book is very useful for learning about the workings of corporations. But not being able to print makes it not worth the money to me.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely NOT for the layperson Review: I learned nothing from the book. I was even more confused after I read it. There were no documents to show how to fill out any information. I don't recommend forming your own corporation by yourself. I wanted to take the easy way out, but realized I would've made a mistake. Instead, I took a seminar and I accomplished a lot more and got more than enough information to set one up. Of course, it costs a lot more to do so. However, it is the best alternative. Reading this book almost discouraged me from moving forward. I do recommend reading RICH DAD POOR DAD. It was an easy read,offered a great understanding of developing rich habits, but not very informative on real estate investing.
Rating:  Summary: The best one I've read Review: I've reviewed a couple of other corporation forming type books. This one is the best I've read yet. Deals with Nevada corporations. Explains taxes, benefits, loopholes, etc. Probably not totally complete, afterall, if you're a lawyer, you need something that is thicker and harder to understand, I'm sure, but for the rest of us, this book seems to cover the iformation well enough. I'd recommend it to any thinking about starting a business or any that are in business and have not yet incorporated.
Rating:  Summary: If you want details for starting your own business... Review: This book is useful for the detail in starting your own business. The Australian version is customised for the unique requirements for setting up and running a business. It covers Employment issues, corporate formalities, trademarks, consumer laws,Trusts, and how to register an Australian company.
The most useful part I found was the number of case stories, which helped illustrate the points.
It's a complete guide and simple to understand.
