    Excellent Customer Service. I bought the Small Business Plan writer and only then did I realise it wasn't compatible with a Mac. There was no quibbling regarding a refund, although it was my mistake, and I got my money returned straight away. Excellent Customer Service!

  • Without your product my life

    5

    Without your product my life would have been a lot more stressful for me during this daunting start-up period. Business Plan Writer really does make sure you cover all the aspects and creates a greater focus to ensure you include the finer detail.

    Thanks Dave for your first class service, support and easy to use product.

  • Thanks for a great product!

    Thanks for a great product! This easy to use software has helped us move on with our business planning 100% by demystifying and simplifying the whole process.

  • Hi Chris - apologies, you

    Hi Chris - apologies, you should have been sent a CD so am posting you one today and refunding the £2.50 price.

    I am also very pleased you found the software useful - Dave Kilroy

  • So love that I found this web

    5

    So love that I found this web site. From the minute I opened the business plan writer I felt less stressed. The business plan was circulated last week and the comments - "very professional document", "wonderful job", "we all feel as if we know where we are going now". I would recommend it to anyone doing business planning - takes 98% of the pain away (well, no pain no gain!).

    (Just one little query, haven't received the CD as yet?)

    Chris.

  • What can I say? This product

    5

    What can I say? This product is superb! As someone who was used to having teams of accountants to model, tweak and ammend business plans for me, I was genuinely impressed with BPW when the need arose for me to 'get down and dirty' with the dark art of business plan writing for myself!
    After a very simplistic payment and download, I was intuitively entering data and benefiting from output financials within a matter of hours.
    As a direct result of this product I have secured investment for my product and will be taking my product to market in the very near future.
    The product support is second to none; if only all 'customer service' was as swift and professional as that provided by BPW.
    I cannot commend this product highly enough - can't wait for the 5 year business plan to come out; talk about an even steeper learning curve!

  • I am a Chartered Accountant

    5

    I am a Chartered Accountant who was very impressed with what I saw and I certainly will recommend this product to clients.

    There are many business plans software but most of them are USA biased. For a UK system, I recommend it fully and also am looking forward to the upgrade to 5 year-business plan.

    I also asked an online employee of mine from Philippines, she is also a qualified accountant and here is her evaluation:

    "Here is my evaluation regarding the business plan writer, I don't see any problem with it. The product is very helpful to every entrepreneur, especially to those who are just starting. As I can see it, it is very simple to manipulate and understand, it is user-friendly that guides you in every step of completing a business plan. In using it, you can construct and organize your ideas properly.

    It is highly recommended if you want to lessen the burden and save time in writing your business plan."

  • Hi philsumm, glad to hear

    Hi philsumm, glad to hear Business Plan Writer was of use. Regarding layout and style, thanks for comments, am planning new features will be included in the Spring 2011 release (all updates free to existing customers) so will let customers know when this is available - Business Plan Writer.

  • Brilliant Customer Service -

    5

    Brilliant Customer Service - thank you Dave for your help and support in getting this set up after a slight hiccup.

    The software does what it say it will, good format and prompts, it helped focus my mind which enabled me to produce the 1st draft very quickly.

    Yes, I'd buy it again, always a good test question.

    Area for improvement - maybe I just haven't spotted this yet and it's already there? Layout and style - I guess I can do this once I've saved as a WORD .doc anyway so not a problem

    I thought that the Business Plan Writer was very user-friendly, and was a great guidance in putting a business plan together.
    It really helps to organise your thoughts and ideas to produce a professional business plan. The financial aspect of the software is invaluable.
    I would really recommend this product to anyone thinking of starting their own business.

  • Great product. Ive got loads

    4

    Great product.
    Ive got loads of templates and other peoples versions of Business Plans but have been prevaricating how/where exactly I should start.
    I like the way the kit gets you over this hesitancy and gets you to dive straight in using its structure for your ideas and content knowing you can be confident you'll cover everything acceptably whilst allowing you to reshape as/if desired along the way. Better than scrolling up and down a fifty page word document

    an online version or other way to collaborate would be great.

  • I found Business Plan Writer

    5

    I found Business Plan Writer an invaluable tool for making decisions that I didn't know needed to be made in setting up a business for the first time. Although I am not using my Business Plan to apply for external finance, the process of completing the document made me make decisions and refine my business idea to a working strategic concept. Thanks BPW

  • Excellent product. Having

    5

    Excellent product. Having created many business plans for small businesses I’m very impressed with the ease in which a new business plan can be created. I have previously used Business Plan Pro which is very thorough and time consuming. However, Business Plan Writer does the same job and is easier to navigate and to complete, plus is only a fraction of the cost.
