Great Book! Everyone was very impressed with my business plan when it was finished. It covered everything you need to include in your plan. The first bank I went to accepted my plan.

THis book is helpful, especially when it came to doing the financials for my business plan. Some of the sample forms needed to be a bit larger, but besides that, an excellent choice for a beginning retailer.
