 Buy this one first July 8, 2002

This book should be within arm's reach the entire time you begin to think about and write your business plan. It is well organized, tightly written, and most importantly, it prompts you to analyze and to answer the critical questions. I've read at least 10 other books on business plans, but this one gets to the heart of the matter better than the others. Many of the questions and topics covered would never have occurred to me if I hadn't read this book. Buy others, but get this one first.

The book provides extraordinary insight into writing a business plan! Every detail is laid out step by step, and includes addresses and phone numbers to organizations that provide crucial research that a person will need for any business research. Every aspect of the business plan is presented concisely and is well organized, leaving nothing for the reader to question. Not one question you may have will go unanswered! Unequivocally, the best book on writing a business proposal! (And I have purchased several books!)
WOW! Concise, meaty, and very readable. October 29, 1999

I checked out a couple dozen books the first time i wrote a business plan (i like to get a lot of angles), but now i only use this one. it assumes nothing, gets straight to the point, and covers all the bases. i particularly like the bulleting, which makes it very easy to hit the main points of each section, and the questions, which focus your thinking on the critical issues and stimulate some very helpful introspection. i read a lot of non-fiction business/technical, and i have never been so impressed with a book. (and as a rule, i don't do reviews...)

The authors have done a very good job of laying out a detailed framework with which to build a business plan. The book is an effective tool for merchandising, manufacturing and service sectors -- with custom sets of questions and busines plan components for each type of industry. No fluff here. Every page has some usefull idea or advice for creating a business plan that you can use to gain financial backing and immeadiately staff your business.
