In broad terms however, and, I suspect, for at least 99% of this forum's readers, a substantially lesser expenditure will provide what is necessary, and, as Tim points out, you can, indeed should, rely on specialists for the rest.Having said that, I think Tim and MikeOH are doing a disservice by stating the business is uncomplicated.

In addition, I'll refer readers to another, more recent thread Validate the 50% Rule.

Even the prosecution in the Drew Peterson case had to get the law changed to allow hearsay to carry any weight in those proceedings.So, yes - readers will, indeed, "consider the source of the opinion": an uninformed person presenting his prejudices based on gossip as if they were of value as more than that.Will Barnard is misinformed.

Granted, this is not the same league as something with a big box national anchor, or a Class A office tower, but then I suspect most of the readers of this site aren't looking at that scale of investment.Small business, almost by definition, is largely "mom & pop", or purely entrepreneurial, and most fail within the first three years.
