Book Description

February 7, 2009
Upstart Business Consulting Group creates comprehensive business plan kits for a variety of businesses and industries. When you purchase one of our business plan kits, you will have access to the tools that will allow you to be an entrepreneur. We only create business plan kits for businesses that can capitalize on current trends and consumer demand. All businesses we cover require an initial start-up capital investment of $1,000 to $10,000. Although the required start-up capital is relatively small, you will have the potential for substantial cash flow and a high return on investment. The format of the business plan kits are modeled after business plans that have been used in successful start-up companies. These business plan kits are for those individuals who want a better work/life balance, want the flexibility, pride, and fulfillment that comes with being an entrepreneur, and want to earn extra income.

About the Author

Background of the Founders Upstart Business Consulting Group ("UBCG") was founded by graduates from one of the top ranked business schools for entrepreneurship in the United States, Chapman University. UBCG was founded with one goal in mind; bring entrepreneurship to everyone. The founders have over a decade of combined experience with two of the largest consulting firms in the world. The founders have various consulting experience including mergers and acquisitions, financial analysis, business process improvement, and information technology. Additionally, one founder is an award winning business plan writer and successful entrepreneur. Why Upstart Business Consulting Group was Founded Entrepreneurship is the true passion of the founders. There are a lot of business plan templates and business plan writing services available for purchase. After reviewing many of these plans, the founders realized they were not only lacking critical information, but they were not tailored to a specific business as they had been advertised. When one founder said, "There has to be a better way", UBCG was born. The idea was simple; provide detailed, informative, and targeted business plan kits to upstart entrepreneurs so they can open their business faster and with less upfront capital. UBCG creates business plan kits for the entrepreneur who has $10,000 or less of available startup capital. There is no Better Time than Now It does not matter if you are a recent college graduate, a worker trying to make ends meet and save for retirement, a burned out mid-level manager trying to climb the corporate ladder, or a retiring baby boomer, there is no better time than now to become an entrepreneur. The founders of UBCG have realized this, and now it is your turn to follow your passion and take your future into your own hands.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money!, August 12, 2009

This review is from: Cupcake Company (Paperback)
Do NOT buy this book..what a rip off. ($25 for 1/4" worth of NOTHING!) Mostly what you will get is basic common sense in running any business..that they took and TRIED to apply to the cupcake business. I am a pastry chef with experience in the field and I can tell you the numbers DO NOT and WILL NOT add up. I actually went back to see when it was published.. the costs were so below reality. What a pathetic book.. this publisher obviously just takes a basic business concept and TRIES to make it apply to a business they know NOTHING about to sell books. I seriously could have written a better one myself with more pertinent information for success. Buy a good business plan software and you'll get more out of it. Business Plan Pro has a great set up they walk you through. I was looking for more detail (marketing, bookkeeping, etc..) in this book... only to find it just SKIMS the surface in any area. Equiptment costs are a joke.. so UNREALISTIC! No contact info for suppliers, etc.. useless! If your curious..skim it through in a bookstore.. and see for yourself. Don't waste your money. Might be good for a kindergartener wanting to sell cupcakes instead of lemonade from their front yard.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have book on business plans, February 1, 2010
By 
Maggie (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cupcake Company (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by a retired executive with 30 years of experience. I used this book to write my business plan for my cupcake business that I run out of my home kitchen. I must admit, I did not know where to start when writing my business plan. This book helped me focus my thoughts and energy. The lessons in the book are specific for a cupcake company, especially the target market and products and services that I can offer. I downloaded the business templates and use them on a weekly basis. My compliments to the authors for not just putting together generic templates or example plans, but rather teaching the entrepreneur how to think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful for New Entrepreneurs!, August 17, 2009
By 
WiredNow (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cupcake Company (Paperback)
I found this book to be extremely helpful. I especially liked the approach in which the different business plan sections are broken down and explained in detail. Also, the ability to directly communicate with the consultants at Upstart Business Consulting Group really added to the value of the book. Getting answers to my questions saved me the time I usually spend hunting around on the Internet for what a need. Definitely worth buying, especially for those who are new to starting a business.
