Editor's review of The Bplan Creator

• 3.0 stars

• "The Bplan Creator"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: The Bplan Creator 1.1

If you're looking for investors for your small business, The Bplan Creator shows you how to make a professional presentation. There's nothing to install; the ZIP file contains only documents on which you can model your own business plan. The read-me file and license agreement offer encouragement and some promotion for the publisher, and the PDF template looks good. However, it's the Word template and Excel workbook that contain the real value. The Word template is just a rich-text file that you can edit with your company's information. Italicized paragraphs at the beginnings of most sections explain their purpose and give tips on how to make that section work. The Guide to Action at the end of the file tells you what the next step is, which essentially promotes the publisher's Web site. The Excel document helps you formulate financial projections. The Instructions tab isn't that helpful, though, so you need some expertise to make this part effective. Aspiring entrepreneurs will benefit most from The Bplan Creator.
