Rating: Summary: Going to try it anyway... Review: ... even though a quick linguistic entropy analysis might suggest that all three 5-star reviews were written by the same person. Hmm.
Rating: Summary: This is the same software used by QuickBooks Review: I currently use another software program by Atlas Business Solutions called Customer Appointment Manager for our practice and became aware of Ultimate Business Planner through their website. As a CPA, I run into clients who need business plans all the time. I recently purchased QuickBooks Premier 2004 only to discover that Ultimate Business Planner is a "beefed up" standalone version of what's included in QuickBooks Premier (Atlas Business Solutions and Intuit must have some sort relationship). I recommend Ultimate Business Planner to all my clients. It's easy to use and does a fantastic job. Since Ultimate Business Planner was chosen by Intuit, I know it has to be the best business plan software on the market.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Software Review: I use this software with my clients who are applying for business loans. The product is very easy to navigate and the financial section is easy to use and prints out professional graphs, charts and spreadsheets that are banker friendly. It is very easy to navigate through the sections and is a definite improvement from the previous version. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about writing a business plan whether they have experience writing a plan or not.
Rating: Summary: The Program works great!!!! Review: I used Ulitmate Business Planner to get the money I need to build my hotel. The lending institute was very pleased with the layout of the business plan, on how easy it was to read and follow. I would recommend this software to anyone. If you want to save your self some time, this is the program to get.
Rating: Summary: helped us expand our business Review: Ultimate Business Planner helped my partner and I get the money we needed to expand our business. It helped us determine what to say in each section of our plan, and it guided us through our financials. Once we were finished, we printed out a professional looking business plan that included several useful charts and graphs, which we presented to our banker for a loan. We would recommend this software to anyone creating a business plan for the first time.
