Business Plan Software Review: Business Plan Pro
Posted on 01. Sep, 2008 by admin in Software
Before I began my career as a writer on sites such as this very one here I dreamed of starting business after business ranging from fashion design to climbing wall manufacturer to well I think I covered just about everything.
As you may have guessed I didn’t do any of these (and I’m sure my bank manager and other half thank me for that) and there were two main reasons for that.
The first was I really didn’t know enough about it to get started.
The second was being totally and utterly put off by having to put a business plan together.
If you have ever thought about starting your own business then the term business plan is one you’ll know all too well. It’s the document that stops people laughing and has them nodding and offering to invest you.
A business plan is the one thing that has the potential to change your whole life so it has to be good. Very good.
It was this business plan that always put me off. I didn’t know where to start. I didn’t know what I should write, what I should and how on earth I should write.
If I’d have had Palo Alto’s Business Plan {Pro Version 11 Software it would have been a completely different story.
This business plan software is absolutely amazing and will make the whole process a doddle.
The program starts by asking you if you want to start a new plan, open an existing or check out over 500 samples.
Personally I found the sample section invaluable. This covers a huge range of businesses from pet photography to restaurants and product development companies and really allows you to explore a business plan and steal some ideas of your own.
You can open these and edit them to suit your needs but personally I’d recommend using a fresh new business plan (and yes that’s someone who’s scared of them saying that). The reason why is Business Plan Pro Software makes it so simple and will guide you through each stage even the financial parts.
It is those financial parts that daunted me the most in the past and impressed me the most in this software. Business Plan Pro Software guides you through this stage in meticulous details, explaining to you what sections are and if you need them. It will then help you fill in your tables with your figures and produce graphs and charts automatically.
I won’t lie to you and tell you you’ll have your business plan done in minutes, you won’t but with Palo Alto’s Business Plan Pro helping you you’re going to have a very impressive document that is sure to get you all the funding you need.
A very impressive piece of software that I’d definitely recommend.
Business Plan Pro Premier Version 11 is currently available for £99 (a discount of £30) at Amazon.
