BizPlanBuilder Reviews
Pros
Terrific tool I wish more people knew about. Writing a business plan and the various docs you need to effectively run your business can be mind numbing.
Ease of use, comprehensive explanations and suggestions how to best write individual sections of the business plan, organization of the plan to look professional.
Cons
Frustration cause I didn't do any training or prep. Not sufficiently intuitive and doesn't do everything for me.
I had no real criticisms of the plan when I bought it (before subscription service).

"An essential tool for every entrepreneur"
Overall: I met [sensitive content hidden] in the early days of BizPlanBuilder and Business Power Tools, and I've watched him grow and develop the platform, deepening it and broadening it as a universal tool-set for any business owner. [sensitive content hidden] has been excellent at customer service, always available as one of my best business consultants. And his Power Tools are like having a dozen experts built into your computer.
Pros: If you're an entrepreneur like me, you missed out on getting an MBA or an education in business management. I've used very expensive consultants to guide me along the way, but BizPlanBuilder is like hiring a team of experts to both educate you and guide you through your business journey. I can't recommend it more highly. [sensitive content hidden] is an absolute genius, and he makes himself available to his customers.
Cons: Nothing to dislike. Nothing to dislike at all.
"BIZPLANBUILDER is the security for your business investments."
Overall: It's one of the little known business software,but one among the best of the time.
Pros: Is the easiest to use researching,thinking,planning modelling and presentation systems to put in place today that time ,energy,expense and missed opportunities
Cons: It is the little known business app that is standard for running businesses than none.
" so-so but unfair"

"A tool that really works and provides great value to founders"
Overall: Terrific tool I wish more people knew about. Writing a business plan and the various docs you need to effectively run your business can be mind numbing. This tool is a REAL productivity boost.
Pros: I like that there is a modular approach to subscribing to the different features and functions to meet the needs of businesses at different stages. I like that you can have multiple logins to collaborate at no additional charge. I like how it prompts the user for answers and then gives them the flexibility in the narrative to modify, and download in to word doc for additional fine tuning
Cons: Last I used it, the financial documents section for creating a forecast and the income statement and balance sheet was GREAT in that it made it simple to get started because of the prompts and default fill-in. However, I did not like that I could not download and continue to modify in an excel spreadsheet if I needed to add non-traditional expenses or revenue sources.
"PRIVATIZATION OF A CARIBBEAN ELECTRICITY CORPORATION "
Overall: The software was intuitive and easy to use.
Pros: The templates were quite general to allow customization
Cons: Transferring spreadsheet data. Data files could not be imported from my spreadsheet. There were field size issues in movind data from a spreadsheet environment to a text environment. Plain text data dropped all of the formulae characteristics.
"Excellent, essential tool for startups and business owners"
Overall: I utilize it, even to this day, as a guide to write business plans, and guide clients who write their business plans. If they want to write them on their own, I recommend the software to them.
Pros: Ease of use, comprehensive explanations and suggestions how to best write individual sections of the business plan, organization of the plan to look professional.
Cons: Honestly, NOTHING. I had no real criticisms of the plan when I bought it (before subscription service).
"Ready, Set, Grow"
