Customer Reviews

Excellent guide

The book includes all the necessary information about business plans, refers to the specific example and different aspects of start-up and existing business.

Great BP Book

This is a great book. Simple to the point advice about developing a business plan.

This book is my bible

This book says it all very concisely, no fluff. I've written three business plans with it. Read a chapter in the book, write a chapter of the plan. The examples are very good. I just hit $1MM in sales on my third try - I give this book a lot of credit for helping me get organized.

Well delivered information neatly and compactly written

I think this book does of a great job of succintly outlining the dos and donts of business plan writing. I also think that the example plan is most instructional. The only thing it could do better is to put in a sample business plan that is based on a services model, rather than a products model. It also could touch on the Internet as a special information resource.

Quick read, yet detailed.

If you're looking for something more than "Business Plans for Dummies" but don't need a textbook this is the book for you. Reads quickly, gives some pertinent details. A sample plan is used to illustrate components and the author comments on its strong and weak points.
