Good Product, great support.,
I have had several versions of Business Plan Pro over the years, and have loved it. The new user interface in Version 11 has made it much easier to keep my business plan upt to date. I especially like that it gives you an estimate on how long each of the steps should take. It makes the whole process less daunting.
I read one of the reviews about the Tech Support at Palo Alto Software, and that made me want to post this message. I have had to call tech support in the past and they have been really good at helping me troubleshoot the issues I have come up with. I had a problem similar to the other poster in an older version, where it looked like nothing was typing into the program, and all my menus were blank. Tech Support help me find that this issue was caused by a high contrast window setting on my PC, and not something in the software. Changing my desktop appearance resolved the issue.

|Great jump start for writing your business plan,
Having written several different business plans (and having used several different versions of Palo Alto's BP software) I have to say that Business Plan Pro has always been a great way to create business plans on the fly. It offers many different types of templates for different types of businesses. These templates are wonderful starting points for creating business plans. The Standard Edition of Business Plan Pro provides great flexibility for creating simple business plans that don't involve things like Quickbooks or Excel integration. For more complex financial tasks, you may have to spring for the Premier version.
I have recommended this software to friends and would definitely never fail to use it for any future business plans that I may have to create.
I love it. My only caution to the customer is that these templates are great jumping off points and not meant to be taken as-is. Writing a business plan is still a project … but with the help of the BP software, it's a heck of a lot easier!
Great program for the money!

|Huge Time Saver,
Not too long ago, I wrote a 20-page business plan just from scratch. Maybe that was a good exercise but I'll never do it again. It was too time consuming. This software makes the job easy and dramatically reduces the time versus writing from scratch.
The time saved and professionalism in using this software even once will justify the investment. After all, one does not write a business plan without intending to invest money in startup costs.
Another advantage is the completeness of a work product from Business Plan Pro 15th edition. It's doubtful one would independently design a business plan that covers as much ground without this software.
I had always thought writing business plans was tedious and therefore many people simply have it in their heads. It's mush wiser to generate a bone fide business plan, but use a software tool to save an incredible number of hours. The interview process makes the job relatively painless although you still have to make decisions.
