5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saver, 27 Feb 2005
I approached my bank for for additional finance for my business.
Surprise surprise they asked for a BUSINESS PLAN. Having avoided this chore so far, I had to scour the Amazon pages for help.
I identified with the Dummies title and was not disapointed with the book I bought, this one.
It took me into a whole lot of places I'd never been before and few I had touched on briefly. Two weeks of hard work and some well thumbed chapters and I had a business plan. A week later I had my loan from the bank. Now thats what I call a great return on investment...a ration of around 10,000 to 1.

3.0 out of 5 stars More for established businesses than new ones..., 5 Feb 2004
By A Customer
A lot of the info in this book seems to focus on businesses that already exist, and that are looking to move onto a new stage. There is very little for new businesses, which was the direction I was coming from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for strategy and planning, 24 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I provide consulting help on business and strategic planning for clients in the US and Brazil. I came across this book originally in its Portuguese version. Now, I'm recommending it to all my clients in both countries. It makes my job of explaining what is a business plan much easier and introduces business people to the ideas and, more importantly, the attitude you need to undertake planning. I recommend it highly.
