Great concept book for beginner, 2008-07-15
This is a great conceptual book that is helping me understand what to think about while brainstorming and planning. It is finely written and easy to read. I would not say this book is full of tools to use. So, you won't find hundreds of templates and samples, rather it thoroughly explains what is important and tells you why. I am planning two initial readings, one to get the gist of it and a second to do the work it recommends. I feel this book will be useful again and again but more as a guide rather than a toolkit.

Good guide to raising money for your business, 2007-11-17
For anybody who wants to raise money for their new business, this book is a must read.
I am toying with the idea of starting a IT consulting company and this book has forced me to really think things through. It is not easy to get a succesful venture started and it helps if you do all the hard work before you meet with potential investors.

Eye of the Tiger! Eye of the Tiger!, 2007-10-29
OK - so you want to start a business but you do not have a Mickey Goldmill (Rocky Balboa's trainer in the Rocky movies) in your corner.
Well, you can get the next best thing -- Ed Rogoff's "Bankable Business Plans!"
Rogoff's "Bankable Business Plans" guides you through the fundamentals of building a plan, illuminates some all too common errors as well as uncommon successes, provides useful exercises to sharpen your message, and, in general, challenges you to take a disciplined and comprehensive approach to pursuing your dream of starting your own business.
Writing a business plan is like training to be a boxer. You need a plan and you have to work at. So fire up the laptop, fire up your heart by watching the old Rocky trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O8xoN9NSzw
, (it's your dream after all), open up Rogoff's book and start typing! Good Luck!

Great tool to get you started , 2007-10-21
This is an excellent tool for potential and new business owners. It is a guide that makes sense and is straight to the point. For those who have already started their own business, it is an excellent reference to keep at your finger tips just incase you run into any obstacles.

Best of the bunch, 2007-10-18
I am in the middle of starting my own small business. I bought 4 different books on business plan writing and this one is the one that I kept referring to. It is by far the best of the bunch. It's very readable, and it is organized so well that I was able to use it as a reference book while I was working on my plan. I also used their online tool too, which helped me generate preliminary financials to take to the bank (and to my now first investor). Overall, if you are at any point of the seemingly daunting task of writing a business plan, this book is the best one I found to get you through it.
