Synopsis
"This book, for me, says it all...It should become standard reading for all employees, managers and founders of start-up businesses."- Professor Sir Christopher Evans OBE, Founder, Merlin Biosciences. "Mike and Chris understand with unusual clarity what drives a start-up."- Tim Smit, Founder, The Eden Project. "What I really liked about this book was that it was easy to read. There are too many half-finished books by my bed that would have helped get me there years ago if I had just finished them. Yet I read Beermat in just one sitting; I enjoyed the book and related to it."- Simon Woodroffe, Founder of Yo Sushi! "Refreshing and very readable." Richard Donkin, Financial Times. You've got a bright idea. An idea that you think maybe, just maybe, could become a brilliant business. But what next? The "Beermat Entrepreneur" is the answer. It takes you through all the crucial stages between those first notes on a beermat and a business that is sound, lasting and profitable.

This new second edition reveals the entrepreneur's Magic Question - what it is and what it can do for you, plus the most common problems encountered by start ups and what to do about them before they happen to you!
