Question:
Thinking of buying "The Successful Business Plan" by Rhonda M. Abrams. Any comments about this package or any recommendations on other books, etc. on preparing a business plan would be appreciated.

Answer:
recommend these two books:

How to Write a Business Plan Mike McKeever - Nolo Press

The Ernst & Young Business Plan Guide (2nd ed) Siegle, Ford, & Borstein - John Wiley & Sons.

I'm looking at Business Plan Software. Have you any experience? The package by Spinnaker for Windows looks good. Bob M.

You might want to invest about 85.00 in a sharp piece of software called BIZPLAN.  The statistics show that business plans made with this software and submitted get better response than hand written plans.  It's capable of producing and printing the forms with all projections etc for service, manufacturing, and retail business proposals.
