Business planning that is easy to use, easy to modify, and that provides specific examples will make all of the difference when it comes to actually creating a business plan. The tools used to write a business plan just as the tools used to build a house have been significantly improved over th
e years and you should be using the best tools. Taking advantage of the cloud, “Live Plan” has a tool that provides not only includes sample business plans related to the NAICs code for your business but also a business planning template that is easily modified to meet your specific needs. I have even used this business planning tool to write a strategic plan and am sure it could be adapted to many other uses. An added feature is that once you have created a business plan you can hit a button and create a power point “Pitch”.
