This review is mostly for those who have a formal business background and are looking for a business plan software to save them time in terms of formatting, design layout and financials. This is not the product for you.I was very disappointed at what I saw - particularly the incredibly simple text presentation design and layout options - which I could have easily done on a basic Word document. Bolds and indentations were about as fancy as it got. No bar headings or other accoutrements that give business plans an overall polished and professional look. I just didn't feel that the product was worth the money - contrary to a very positive review I found in one of the online PC mags - esp. on point about superior design layout. Not so. This product also did not have any kind of book or manual - as some other business plan programs such as Business Plan Pro 4.0 had. So, in this sense, perhaps it is not even the best product for beginniners - who would probably prefer a basic manual in addition to the program itself. This is a very simple business plan - as the name says. I just didn't realize how simple. It has all the basic parts, but is a starter kit for those who are new to writing business plan and who don't have a formal business educational background. Just a little warning. Good luck.
