Not bad but not worth the money either
If you do some research on the internet you will find comparable quality information, for free. Some of the info is also dated. Overall....not worth the money.

One-Stop Shop for Landlords
I have been practicing landlord tenant law in Florida for eleven years and this book is the best and most accurate summary of the law that I have seen other than the four volume series by Hauser (@ [...]). It contains all of the forms a do-it-yourself landlord will need. You can also contact the author to get all the forms in the book on CD Rom. If you are a Florida landlord, you must own this book. Note that the law is the same thoughout the state of Florida, but each county has different court holidays.So check with the clerk of your county court for a list of the holidays. I have posted the Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach court holidays on my website, [...], plus a variety of free landlord forms.

Helped out a lot
I managed to use this book with a little guidance from the courthouse to evict someone from the start to finish.More of a guide since every county is different in Florida.

to sum up the book, get a attorney

Overpriced - A Rip off!
I had originally purchased three books to learn about protecting my parent's assets when and if they need to apply for Medicaid.Two of the books I purchased cost less than $16.This book cost $24.95.The book is only 40 pages and is in very large print... so it would probably be considered a "pamphlet", had it been printed in normal sized font.(Maybe 10-15 pages worth of worthless information.)The information is just a collection of definitions used in Medicaid which can be easily found on the internet (and probably available for free in many pamphlet type publications).This is not a case of "you get what you pay for!".It is helpful to note that this book is for medicaidinformation in the state of Florida - so if that is what you are looking for, you will save yourself about $10 and gain a lot of useful information and reference material by purchasing "The Medicaid Handbook 2006" by Sean W. Scott, which deals with the same subject. ... Read more

Great book that is straight to the point
I used this book to write a paper on starting a business in Florida covering all the legal aspects of that business.This was a great resource.It was specific, and it also had the applicable government forms in the back!The author is easy-to-understand and comprehensive.

Start a Business in Florida Book Review
The book was very useful.Provided alot of detailed information, pertinent to starting up a new business.I recommend it to anyone just starting out.

Good Start
This book is a good startfor obtaining the knowledge necessary to start a buisness in Florida.After reading it you will have a basic knowledge of the legalities of running a buisness.It is relatively short considering the ammount of material covered.This is accomplished by providing references to additional sources of information rather than discussing specific subjects in great detail.For example, if you're interested in starting a food buisness this book won't give you all the FDA's rules and guidelines, but it will tell you where to go to get them.

One thing I feel this book is lacking is a clear step-by-step on how to go through the process of becoming incorporated (or the process for whatever other business type you choose).Sure, it covers all the topics, but I found myself flipping through the last few pages and then wondering what to do next.This book would benefit greatly from a few mini chapters in the end providing a step by step for LLC's, corportations, non-profit, ect.It's frustrating to read through the book and then feel as if you need to go use one of these $300 services to have someone else get you started.

The book would also be better if it offered a little more material on corporate by-laws.I realize this is an incredibly complicated subject, but a basic knowledge of what they are and how they effect a buisisness would be nice.

Over all I would highly recommend this book.I've complained about it not providing enough start up know-how, but to put it in perspective you're much better off reading this book and understanding the laws needed to keep your business out of trouble than to buy a quick start guide to starting a business without having the legal knowledge to run it.

A must have book for new business startups!
Like many new business owners, i am starting a business in florida and have been overwelmed with the rules and laws as it applies to what i need to do, when i need to do it and how to do it.

This book has chapters dealing with choosing your type of business, naming the business, business licenses, insurance, health and safety codes, employment laws, contract laws, payment and collections, advertising, book keeping and accounting, federal taxes, state taxes, out-of-state taxes, selling company stock, etc.

The only reason i didnt give this book a 5 star rating was because of the business forms. I purchased a similiar book from SphinxLegal called "Incorporate in Florida" and that book covered subject matter step-by-step, then referenced a template in the back of the book and explained how to complete that template and when to complete it. So with regards to incorporating my business, i knew what paperwork to file, how to file it, when to file it, how to complete the paperwork, what paperwork to keep etc. It was written very precise, step by step.

But, this particular SPhinxLegal book about starting a business in Florida isnt as detailed. It provides some business forms in the back of the book. But, it didnt provide the step by step instructions for using them, when to use them, how to use them etc. Also the forms werent as complete. For example, it doesnt have a contractor agreement contract or vendor agreement contract or service provide contract or employee application form or examples of basic company policies that are needed for Labor or HR issues discussed int he book.

The book is great for understanding the law and operating a business. but, it doesnt go far enough in providing materials to help you accomplish this. It does reference some organizations that can help you.

Overall, this is a must read! But, it wont be a complete source for success, you will need to get another book or two to expand your understanding of specific areas. ... Read more
