Does anyone have any experience with business plan writing programs?? Not quite sure which one to try?

Question

I have seen many different programs and lots of software, none really give much detail. Thanks for any input.

If anyone can tell me a better way to write a business plan, I'm open to ideas, thanks.

Answer 1

Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.

Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.

SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.

Answer 2

I have used BizPlan extensively over the years and have recommended it to people starting a business. Very intuitive, easy to follow and makes you think about many issues before starting the business.
Good luck

Answer 3

Google SBA, Small Business Adm. Read there.
You can use the link to SCORE. There are many templates.
