<p><strong>'<em>Business Planning for New Ventures</em> by David Butler is an excellent and comprehensive text as well as being a very practical resource. It is borne out of David's extensive knowledge and personal experience and it will meet a wide variety of needs and help many new ventures to be much better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of starting a business. I highly recommend it.'</strong></p><p><strong>Ken Nelson,</strong> <em>CEO LEDCOM Ltd, Northern Ireland, Holder of the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, Past Chairman of Enterprise Northern Ireland, UK</em></p><p><strong>'This book provides a useful focus on the start-up process from the perspective of technology-based and high-growth potential start-ups. It unpacks both the activities undertaken by such businesses and the associated development needs and requirements. As such, it will be of interest to both students on entrepreneurship and business start-up programmes, as it complements existing texts on new venture creation.'</strong></p><p><strong>Leigh Sear,</strong> <em>Chief Executive of SFEDI Solutions and Principal Lecturer in Enterprise Development, Anglia Ruskin University, UK</em></p>
