The software is easy to run and follow. BUT....it is a scam, although honest in its own way. It directs you to other business sites where you have to spend MORE money. For example, Logoworks. You can go there and design all you want for your own business logo. But once you like it, and want it, you have to pay $49. Ditto for business cards, bookkeeping software, etc. Fortunately Palo Alto Software has a 60 day money back guarantee. I'm returning it and getting my money back. Fast.

Start Run Grow is a fully comprehensive small business product. Its easy to lose track of the details when running a small business but Start Run Grow helps to keep track of the little things. The calculators (Break-Even, ROI, etc.) are extremely useful as it provides easy-to-use, quick analysis of how effectively the business is running. The program also offers plenty of information about business decisions, when to incorporate, how to trademark your company name or logo, etc. These are useful especially if you have a good business idea but don't know how to take advantage of it. The discounts on other products helpful for running a successful business, like Business Plan Pro, Marketing Plan Pro, and many others, make this product extremely useful. I highly recommend!

I absolutely hated this product. I spent $50 on the thing and all it does is refer you to other places that charge more money. Don't waste your money or time.

This is a disappointment!
The advertisement should be more precise. It's a scam! It lures the buyer into believing that there is a viable program -somewhere. There is not! Read more

Good Guides, easy reading
The guides are helpful. Some tools are useful for all businesses. I would just like to see the free included info separate from the paid solutions.
