Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a consultant who works with small businesses on startup, growth, and cash flow. I'm no stranger to writing business plans. I've sweated through a number of them for my own businesses and those of my clients. Business plans are time consuming and costly, and really kind of a pain in the neck...until now. I'm using Business Plan Pro Premier version to write my latest plan. I wish I'd started using it years ago, I'd have fewer gray hairs.
This software provides more than 500 sample business plans so I don't have to start from scratch. I can find a similar business and use that as my guide to get started. One headache gone.
The software guides me through step by step asking relevant questions in easily understandable language. And the navigation is simple and intuitive. Another headache gone.
The financial features are terrific. I enter information step by step and magically I get a spreadsheet and even charts detailing my projections. I don't have to struggle trying to remember how to create a chart in Excel. Very cool! The cash flow features are awesome--and remember, I work with cash flow everyday for a variety of businesses in a variety of industries. Nothing is more important than cash flow!
The Premier version even allows you to do what-if scenarios with your cash flow--"what if my sales are higher/lower?", "what if my receivables don't come in as planned?", etc. Very cool feature. The premier version also gives you the ability to enter your actual numbers as you work your plan so that you can see your progress and adapt your plan as needed.
**That means the software continues to be a valuable resource long after your plan is done!**
Now, for those businesses that need to present their business plan for funding or to get investors...Your business plan can be exported to PowerPoint! That's an amazing time saver right there. No need to reinvent the wheel. And, when all is said and done you have a very professional plan (Small Business Administration approved format) that is ready for presenting.
This software gives you all the pieces you need to create a professional business plan with the least amount of headaches and time. I love this program!
