Just get Business Plan Pro, instead

This book might have helped SOMEONE write a business plan, but it contained only one idea of any interest for me. The authors mention that there is good software on the market to help first-time business plan writers, and they are absolutely correct! The book is a real let-down compared to Business Plan Pro. Your First Business Plan offers over half of its pages as a sample business plan for a company that is: a) NOT a start up (I think a great majority of people writing their FIRST business plan are concerned with start-up information), and

b) NOT a service business (many more businesses provide services than actual products)

So, all in all, this book didn't help me much other than the great advice to go out and buy a good business plan program. So, I pass this advice on to you - free of charge. No reason to pay book prices plus tax and shipping for it!


It gives you all you need to build an excelent Business Plan

I had 3 weeks build a business plan and I had never built one before. I had no idea where to start. - So I bought this book hoping it would help. Not only did it help, It mad possible to finish an excelent business plan in only two weeks, a business plan so professional no one believed it was my first one. - This book will take you step by step from the beginning of your BP to the end of it.


Excellent Reference Material for Business Managers

We took this book and gave copies to department managers around our company and many have implemented the business planning techniques contained in this book with great success. Hazelgren's writing style is clear and concise.
