English for Entrepreneurs

[Hicks]

Hi.
I have noticed on this site that there are a lot of 'non-English as a first language' entrepreneurs. I was thinking about doing a book exclusively for them to provide them with the English they need....then I thought the market would be too small so I then thought that I could have it as a section of a Business English book.

I would appreciate people's feedback; especially if English is not your first language.

Would you read/buy this?
What topics would you like to see included?
Would you like interviews? Ie real world examples.
Would you like testing sections at the end of each chapter? I usually hate this as you need time for things to sink in.
Would you like pro-forma letters/copy that you could just add the details (so as to avoid grammar mistakes etc).

Anything else?

Of course if I do go ahead I will give you a free copy

Thanks very much for your time.
