Outstanding,

This review is from: Streetwise Complete Business Plan: Writing a Business Plan Has Never Been Easier! (Paperback)
It has a great format where he walks you through each page of your business plan with all sorts of samples where you can plug in your specific business items. But it's not just fill-in-the-blanks. For any given section, he gives you many sample outlines to follow, according to your specific type of business and how mature the business is. Definitely helps you to brainstorm and walk away with all sorts of new ideas. I can't recommend it enough.

This review is from: Streetwise Complete Business Plan: Writing a Business Plan Has Never Been Easier! (Paperback)
This book is for a start up small business. Easy, walk through, step by step planning. Good conservative insights of what an investor or bank would be looking for. Favors the service industry.It is designed to provide an annual plan ... not a five year plan. There is little in the book for advice in an ongoing buisness. The verbage, however, is useful for any business plan.

This review is from: Streetwise Complete Business Plan: Writing a Business Plan Has Never Been Easier! (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that will walk you through the process of writing your business plan. It covers all of the major sections of creating a business plan including Executive Summary, Market Analysis, Competitive Analysis, Strategy, Sales and Marketing, and so on. For each area, it asks clear questions, offers guidance to answering them, and offers different examples and formats that could be appropriate for different types of businesses. This is also one of the only business planning books that offers help with the financials!Also, the book is well laid out and organized. It can be easily skimmed or read cover-to-cover with the major points highlighted well with excellent graphics. The sample business plans are very simple but concise and well written. Though they are not "real" examples, they can help provide guidance and get the juices flowing. Do not expect the book to make you a master of business planning, but as a tool to get started it is excellent. Furthermore, it can help you get thinking strategically and to get you asking yourself the right questions. The only real negative about the book is that it does not tell you what types of formats or plans are appropriate for different types of businesses, and different types of financing.
