Business Plan Pro 4.0 A number of software programs can help you write a business plan. The latest upgrade, Version 4.0, incorporates more significant changes than any previous version. Business Plan Pro still walks you through the process of building and publishing a business plan. But in addition, Version 4.0 incorporates features that make it a more flexible business-planning tool, including enhanced forecasting and exporting options and improved navigational guides. And you can now publish your finished plan to a password-protected Web site, so prospective investors and others can view and, for a fee, edit it.
All business plans contain a similar set of details.
You are the only one who will be able to define and articulate your agency's objectives and mission, ownership and facilities, products and services, market analysis, strategies, and management. A few tables and charts are sprinkled throughout the text, but you'll prepare most of these after you've completed the text portion and are ready to build your financial plan. This consists of standard documents, such as break-even analysis, balance sheet, business ratios, and profit and loss statements. Then it drops you into a split screen navigator. There's room at the top for guidance and below for your answers.
