"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!
Requirements
Any PC with a word processing or page layout program and a spreadsheet
program. These files are designed for use by those with a basic (not advanced)
knowledge of word processing and spreadsheets.

The text files are in two formats: ASCII and WordPerfect 5.1. The
spreadsheet files are in Lotus 1-2-3 v2.2 format. The Lotus 2.2 files can be

these Lotus files.
