'Karen's book is easy to read and I found myself reading it from start to finish in one sitting. It's full of practical, realistic advice with lots of examples of how other companies have successfully grown. I particularly liked the section on determining your company values. Really useful ideas. It's a must read for anyone wanting to find efficiencies in their business and increase profitability'

'I have worked in the corporate world and set up my own businesses, so I know how daunting it can be to take the leap from that safe monthly pay cheque to seeing what’s in the business bank account at the end of the month and working out if you can afford to pay yourself.
Karen has written a remarkable book that captures in just 90 pages what you have would have to read in ten different books to get the same range of knowledge.
The fact that it all comes from her own personal experience makes it all the more credible and readable.
It is a first-class guide into how to set up a business that will deliver what you want in terms of money, time and effort and not leave you working for the bank or your employees.
It’s not often you can find all the information you need in one place and the fact that Karen has achieved it in just 90 very valuable pages is a great testimony to her experience and understanding of the business world.'
