5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Start a Business Without It!, May 24, 2008

This review is from: Automate Your Business Plan 2008 for Windows - by Linda Pinson (CD-ROM)

This companion software to the book Anatomy of a Business Plan is the perfect tool to actually create a business plan. It includes plenty of examples and forms that will save you time. Better yet, the step by step format really gets you thinking beyond the business plan and how you can create a business that will really make a difference. Besides the sample text that you can use from proven business plans, the real benefit of this software are the financial forms. These alone are well worth the price of this product.

Having used the other versions I must admit I like this one best. User-friendly and affordable- just what a business person needs to raise capital in hard financial markets like today.
