Reduce taxes by 70% and protect your assets:
Two of the biggest predators to business owners is taxes and lawsuits. What I learned from Inc. and Grow Rich was how to significantly reduce taxes (70% and more) and protect my assets. Taxes are one of the biggest deterrents to wealth. The more you make, the more they (the government) wants to take. By use of the strategies in this book, you are armed with the right information tolegally reduce your taxes down to the absolute minimum. Once you establish yourself as a business, you immediately become a target. The information in Inc and Grow Rich will show you how to protect yourself. Important points covered in the book * Slash your taxes by 70% * Tax deductible cars * Tax deductible educational expences * Tax deductible life, health and automobile insurance * Tax deductible trips * Tax Deductible food * Tax deductible housing * Protect your personal and business assets * Don't pay probate costs * Don't pay inheritance taxes * Structure your financial affairs for wealth, not poverty There is an interesting quote in the book that I would like to share: "You simply need to learn how the rich get rich & do the same thing! What works for the rich will work for you too." The book covers in detail the eight legal business structures: I The Sole Proprietorship II The General Partnership III Limited PArtnerships IV The Corporation V "C" vs "S" Corporations VI The Professional Corporation VII Nonprofit or Not-for-profit corporations VIII The Limited Liability Corporation In the chapter called 'Building your Wealth" by C. W. Allen, we learn the four founding principles of getting and staying rich which are: 1) Get into business for yourself and incorporate your business 2) Spend first - tax later (by operating as a corporation) 3) Own nothing - control everything (All your assets protected) 4) Use the magic of compound interest (rule of 72) The authors bring a varied and professional background and are uniquely qualified to present this information.

"Why work hard to accumulate assets when by doing so you become a target for frivolous litigation?" says Sutton and he addresses this question and others related to preserving family wealth and your hard earned assets. Overall Inc and Grow Rich is a excellent book for all business people. Also recommend Own Your Own Corporation by Garrett Sutton, Retire Young Retire Rich by Kennedy and Robert Kiyosaki, The Traders Tax Survival Guide by Ted Tesser and Form a Corporation and Launch a Business in Any State by J.W.Dicks.

Wow- I had NO idea!:
I have seen this book recommended by others, so my roomate bought it and I read it (he's not as motivated I guess!). Ididn't expect this book to be too interesting; I thought it would be totally referential. And after reading "Own your own Corporation" which was amazingly DULL, I expected this to be equally dull. INC and GROW RICH is a MUCH better book to read for this topic, and told in plain, simple english. If you are building a business, at some point, you need to decide on a business structure. I firmy believe that INC and GROW RICH will help you.

Give yourself a raise--courtesy of the government!:
I have to admit, I was not aware of the great opportunities available courtesy of the U.S. Government untill I read this great book by C.W.Allen et all. This book is outstanding and one of the best books that I have ever read on corporations. I also recommend Inc. Yourself by Judith McQuown, Own Your Own Corporation via the Rich Dad Advisor series and Form Your Own Corporation and Launch a Business in Any State by J.W.Dicks. Let the government give you a tax free raise and protect your business.

An easy read. Easy to apply:
As someone who is just starting out in business, I appreciated the easy to understand and easy to apply advice in this book. I also recommend The Rich Dad advisor series book by Garret Sutton as well as the exellent books by J.W.Dicks. After talking with dozens of other successful business people and pouring over a hundred "How to incorporate" books, these are the best.

Easy to Read & Understand:
As someone just starting out in business, I found the information easy to read and understand. It's a must for anyone thinking about going into business for themselves!
