5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, December 30, 1998

STEPHEN W DE LONG (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The McGraw-Hill Guide to Writing a High-Impact Business Plan: A Proven Blueprint for First-Time Entrepreneurs (Paperback)

A very consise and well written guide. An excellent reference to have at your side while writing a business plan. I find it extremely useful. My only complaint is on the poor graphics in the book, especially since the author repeatedly stresses the importance of graphics in a business plan.

Jo�o Vila�a Ramos (Cascais, Portugal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The McGraw-Hill Guide to Writing a High-Impact Business Plan: A Proven Blueprint for First-Time Entrepreneurs (Paperback)

For the past 4 years working in an Investment Bank I've read many business plans.
Don't expect too much from this reading. I'll recommend it just to beginners.
