  • nice, exciting to see you're going to do a business plan.

    for business plans you should take a look at the Business Plan Pro software by the (now bankrupt or closed) Palo Alto company.

    It has a bunch of very simple advice and is all pre-set to give you a really great outcome

    I found it on the torrents. All the best with the writing

    Ukh, Business Plan Pro was and is the biggest rip off. No use anyone looking to put a large scale plan together if they have no concept of how a P & L is brought about, a Cash Flow Forecast, how a Balance Sheet can make a firm look insolvent in one format, or very profitable in another. I have lost count the amount of times a 45 page plan was put in front of me that had no credible research, figures that did not stand up, or what a SWOT is.

    Far better just to do a plan from a free bank download. Anything more in depth should be done by people who know what they are doing. Otherwise there's a massive chance it will be screwed up.
