"Very detail oriented, but missing financial section"
Version: Ultimate Business Plan Starter 5.0.72
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.

NONE! Not free, not worth the bother.

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

"Does NOT work w/ WIN 7"
Version: Ultimate Business Plan Starter 5.0.72
Pros
Software looks very nice
Cons
It processes the information but when it goes to FORMAT THE DOCUMENT it freezes up and does not respond. I've tried many different ways to get it to show the final plan. NO GOOD
Summary
If you have WIN 7 look elsewhere until the fix the bugs
Part of the problem is that download.com says in the title that it's version 5.0 when in the fact download is version 4.0 which doesn't work with WIN 7
