Book Description

0793146003 978-0793146000 August 30, 2001 5
The carefully written, well-thought-out business plan fell out of fashion in the dot-com craze, but in the year following the technology stock market crash it has become apparent that this basic building block of business is an entrepreneur's best friend.

Award-winning author and business planning expert Linda Pinson has updated the book that has helped over 1 million businesses get up and running. Both new and established businesses will benefit from Anatomy of a Business Plan's mix of time-tested planning strategies and an entirely new chapter on marketing techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very clear, very "reader friendly", step-by-step guide., April 5, 2000
There are numerous books on business plans on the market, but Linda Pinson and Jerry Jinnett's Anatomy Of A Business Plan is one of the clearest: it provides a step-by-step guide to writing the plan and building the business, and appears here in its 4th edition to provide all the details in building - and changing - a business plan.

5.0 out of 5 stars good starting point, January 9, 2001
Great book on the basics of writing a professional business plan for any small company. For anyone who's starting a business for the first time or is sitting down to write his or her first business plan, this is among the most useful books to turn to. The chapters for the most part walk the reader through the various section of the business plan and there are examples of actual plans following the author's guide in the appendixes to the book. There are also worksheets and a useful glossary. The writing is clear and a good starting point.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but rather simple., June 9, 2000

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Good ideas, well organized, but a bit simple. If you want to start something more complex than a simple "mom & pop feel" type business you need go elsewhere.
