What our customer's say!

"Business Plan Professional Indeed!", Business plan pro indeed!

I started my business in 2002 and needed a business plan. I didn't know where to start. The bank said that an accountant needed to review the figures and projections.

Geez! I am in a service business and whereas an accountant may know the numbers, they didn't know the business. My accountant said that I should write the plan and let him go over it. Yeah..right! SO I searched the Internet and came across this software. Gosh, just $99.00 bucks to secure my future obtain a business loan and get started. Seemed a fair deal, so I ordered the software and some books as well on writing a business plan.

The books said it might take a couple of months to write a proper plan to present to investors and convince them. The software said it would produce a winning plan. Ok, time to get started. Ahh.. They had sample business plans that one could look at. Nice!

Well, I followed the instructions and got started. It took a couple of weeks of editing but at the end there it was. Nicely generated plan, indexed, pages numbered nicely double-spaced. A truly professional and legal looking plan which I proudly presented to my accountant. He said, this is a lot, it is even more that they need and you will have no problems with the bank. Needless to say I wanted to believe him.

Then the day came and I presented my plan to three separate banks and waited...and waited...and waited...Then the first bank called, apologetic. My plan was so comprehensive it took them more time than usual to go through but..it was approved! They would offer 50% financing. Then the second bank called.. Approved! They would offer 90% financing. The third bank called.. needed more time, they had NEVER seen such a comprehensive and well written business plan..needed another week to fully digest it. Then they called about two weeks later. They wanted my accountant and I to meet with the Manager. They wanted a few things explained.

This did not look good!

There were a few figures they could not understand how they were generated. My accountant explained that the numbers were generated in a computer program, Business Plan Pro and he had gone over it and it was using a different recording method to what they were accustomed. [ It was all accountant talk that I have summarized]. All smiles! APPROVED! 100% financing.

Needless to say, you know which bank I went with in the end!

Thanks business plan pro. I can truly say that this software was worth every penny and I heartily endorse it!

"The best resource if you need to write a Business Plan", I needed to write a business plan, but didn't really want to, and didn't know where to start. Business Plan Pro was recommended to me, and was the best investment I've made in a long time. The software really helped me to understand what a business plan was all about and to get organized and get it done. It wasn't as hard as I thought!

"Made my life easier!", I've been struggling with getting my new business off the ground, and then a friend recommended this software. I am not a business person and have no head for financials, but this software made me feel confident that what I was producing was a complete and professional plan. I haven't received the official word about my loan, but the officer who I met with was extremely impressed. I was too!

"I didn't think it would be this easy!", I had no time left to write a business plan and little experience putting one together. On a suggestion from a friend I ordered the Business Plan Pro software and started it up. Imagine my relief when the software literally walked me through the entire process!!

I put together a basic plan, and wrote it over the span of 3 lunch hours. Easy to understand process, outstanding resource help, great customer service and a tech service department that didn't make me feel like I was asking stupid questions.

I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a helping hand in writing, but doesn't have the money to spend on an expensive consultant.

"Just bought the latest version - Very Pleased!", I have just upgraded to the latest version of Business Plan Pro and am very pleased with it. I have been using Business Plan Pro since I started my business last year, and thought I would only use my business plan to get a loan and never look at it again. Instead I have found myself keeping it updated monthly, cos its so easy to jump into the program and make changes to it.

The newest version has a new interface that is more user friendly and I the whole program a lot more manageable. My only criticism of the last version is that there was so much on the screen you didn't know where to start.

I would recommend any business owner or wannabe business owner to get themselves a copy of this software.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Frustrated", I originally purchased Business Plan Pro and in November upgraded to Business Plan Pro 2002 as I was interested in reviewing the business plans on the web. I went out and purchased a computer for the sole purpose of the Business Plan work as I am a MAC and the software will not run on a MAC. I purchased a computer and had Windows XP home installed. I cannot download the business plans from the Internet. Tech Support does not respond except to tell me things to do if I have other Windows version installed and I am not allowed to call them. Then they just quit responding. It is very frustrating and I really feel like I have wasted my money and my time. I do not recommend this software if you expect to download it.

"Great Concept - Full of Bugs", I began using this product, glad to see that careful thought and utility of the product. But then there were bugs that caused the program to crash, and then I was saving often, and still crashing. Then I updated the software from the website, and that didn't do it. Then I contact customer support. They suggested another update, and that one I have never been able to recover from. The program will not open or run. I dare you to see if you have better luck...

"Light-weight", If you're a beginner then this is your product although a very slow-running product with some bugs. It gets your thoughts together and coaches you through each section.

There are a number of compatibility issues with their charts and Word export. Formating is locked and you are forced to reformat your complete document with new styles. Don't even think that you can use any templates like the Word standards. Charts allow some row to be added but that crashes occationally. Certain rows are locked and data that feeds cells is not clear about where it comes from.

The other Research Data they provide is bogus. Industry insight information is horrible and not even close. When I called to get an explanation, the companay passed me onto the research company which in turn got me in touch with a newbie that had no idea and made up a description of the data.

"Use this tool whether you're power user or beginner", I've used Business Plan Pro several versions now, the key is that whether you're a pro or not, you have a lot to gain and nothing to lose by using this software. You get important built-in information now with the new version, plus a flexible outline and tons of content information, and complete financials that are solid and well-documented.

Beginners can just follow the wizard to complete a plan without losing site of instructions and examples, and if you're more experienced, the new version has expanded the ability to add Excel-compatible worksheets. And the new manual is a great addition.

It is backward compatible, by the way ... this version reads the previous version's files without problems ... and the previous version read the one before that without problems.

If you want to do a business plan, use this, it's worth the price many times over.

"Step by step, easy, but professional and effective", I've done a lot of business plans with a lot of different software and this is by far the best, easy to use, but powerful enough to give you a real plan, with real cash flow, good enough to get financed. The outline is flexible so you can add or subtract what you want, and the financials are very strong, with also a lot of flexibility. I've also done a number of them using just Word and Excel, and this is much better because you don't sacrifice quality of plan at all, just get ease of use and a lot of built-in help.
