- "Business Plan Master" was written by David A. Works, a member of the
- Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
-
- By downloading this file, you obviously have an interest in making your
- present business or a prospective business more profitable. EVERY business
- needs to have a plan in order to track its progress. There is no business too
- small, too large, too complex or too simple to avoid having a business plan.
-
- In these template files, I give you a professional format, some excellent
- sample text and several spreadsheet files for you to use. Alone these could
- save you many hundreds of hours of work. Because of the wide diversity of
- businesses and business ideas, I have tried to make these files as universal as
- possible. Over time, you will likely incorporate your own language into the
- text and make modifications to the worksheets.
-
- This program will:
-
- * Help you create a highly professional business plan.
-
- * Save you many hours (even days!) of work.
-
- * Let you compare your business with others in your industry.
-
-
- Please work on copies of these files in case you trash one. It happens to
- all of us!
