Who needs business school when you've got software? This efficient program walks you through the process of creating a business plan and introduces some basic writing skills, too. Step by step, Ultimate Business Plan Starter introduces each section of a typical professional document and includes samples and a short explanation of what to include with each. Once finished, you can use the program to print out a professional-looking document -although formatting options are few, the features available create a clean, but basic hard copy. It doesn't take much time to learn how to use this program, as the interface is similar to that of most word processors. Overall, this is a good, basic program for business students or beginning entrepreneurs who want to teach themselves how to build a better business document.

Fails with Windows 7 and won't uninstall completely
abikeriderFebruary 25, 2015
Pros
None since it never worked.
Cons
It won't run on windows 7. A window with an error message pops up when I try to run it. Also, it won't completely uninstall because it still is visible in my list of installed programs after uninstalling it. What a POS.
Summary
Don't download it if you are running Windows 7
this seems like it will be useful through the semester.
devonskeezJanuary 29, 2013
Pros
it could potentially help somebody that is trying hard to get their business off the ground and this seems like it will be a great stepping stool to put it together.
Cons
they have not made a save button, that can be a potential hazard knowing that you it will be nearly impossible for you to remember all your thoughts and ideas without being organized and not having anything saved.
Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 29, 2013<p/>this business plan starter seems like its going to be very helpful in this class. Hopefully my guess is correct, but it seems like it worked for others pretty usefully.
Simple easy to use program... actually on your computer
MJ_HdJanuary 21, 2013
Pros
You don't have to be connected to the internet. Gives you preset regions to fill out with examples and writes everything properly for you!! Literally stupid-proof...
Cons
You guys don't make a financial planner yet!
Summary
Good but needs more.
HindsightTechnologiesAugust 20, 2012
Pros
I thought the basic information provided with each section was fine. Each section had the needed subsections available.
Cons
The financial section needs to bve set up with a spreadsheet instead of just text entry. That would make the financial numbers easier to deal with.
Summary
Very detail oriented, but missing financial section
Dogbreath077March 23, 2012
Pros
Thorough explanation of every section that you need to fill in, gives good examples. Lets you edit which sections are printed according to your needs. This is a good program for the beginner and for the expert.
Cons
No financial section. The novice will need to look elsewhere for this feature, but that's easy with the internet. Exporting the business plan to a printable file is not readily explained. I'm a techie so I exported it and printed it out with ease, even in XP. The features of Win 7 and Vista will easily export and print it though. If you need help with the exporting and printing, the key here is the format that it is using, and your exact printer to which you send it. The MS XPS document writer will print it out for you, and that is an integral part of the Windows operating system.
Summary
I like it very much, it is in perfect line with, and then some more, with a business plan class I took in college. It could use a financial section for the novice user. I'm glad I used it, and I'll keep using it as well as recommend it to others.
Awful program crashes can't uninstall
benadlerAugust 16, 2011
Pros
maybe good if it opens
Cons
crashes won't uninstall waste of time
Summary
terrible get rid of it
does not save your work when you press save
randomrandomrandomApril 10, 2011
Pros
good in terms of understanding what is needed in a business plan.
Cons
has a save button that does not work in the free feature, however the only way i found out it did not work was after working on it for three hours, saving the document then opening it the next day only to find everything blank.
Summary
This is NOT free!
ztlNovember 15, 2010
Pros
NONE! Not free, not worth the bother.
Cons
Another company pretending to offer a free tool, but then asking for $99 to make it work!!! I wasted time on installing it and space on my PC
Summary
Obviously another one who don't know shit about business planning. Why bother? Is this the way to conduct business?
Good workflow, but no Financials
kenneticgOctober 3, 2010
Pros
Good step-by-step workflow for completing non-financial parts of plan.
Cons
Does Not include financial worksheets, so must get from somewhere else (or buy the upgrade, $49).
Summary
Works great with Vista
Tmath44September 27, 2010
Pros
This is a great help to a small business person like me. I wasn't really sure where to start with writing my business plan -but now I'm on my way!!
Cons
Couldn't find any
Summary
For the price you pay, you can't really ask for a better place to start when writing your business plan. Glad I've got it!
