    Pro: The content of this book is very clear, straightforward and covers every single aspects you should consider when developing a Business Plan, or simply defining the structure and operations of your company.

    The layout, paper quality, colors as well as the various charts, quotes, worksheets and appendixes make this book surprisingly pleasant to read.

    I learnt a lot of things, and now know exactly what is expected on a business plan and its appropriate structure.

    Con: You will need to buy the excel financials either from the vendor's website or by buying a bundle CD+Book. Otherwise you will only have the paper version.

    I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is planning to start a new business...

    Quite possibly the best book out there to give your plan the momentum to get done and get it right! This book is worth more than it's weight in gold. I was intimidated at first glance, but the content flows seamlessly and the worksheets are a fantastic planning tool, some of them can even be physical pieces of the business plan. I highly recommend to anyone serious about starting a business, get this book immediately, regardless of where you are at in your planning process and you'll be the next person writing a 5 star review. Get it done and get it right!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - Sloppy Packaging for Shipment
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    We've been using this book for 19 years (since its second edition) as part of the curriculum of a year-long small business development course and it continues to be the best combination of text and workbook we've found. Rhonda keeps it fresh and relevant with each updated edition. Our only complaint is not with the book, but the packaging when Amazon ships a case of them to us. It has been a long time since we have received a box of these books that has not been broken open in shipment because the packers don't "cross-tape" all the seams shut, which is mandatory with a box of this weight. A few seconds of time and a couple of feet of additional tape would keep the boxes closed and the books safe.

    It was required for a class. I received a B+ in the class, since I had to evacuate during the week of final exams. This book was a wonderful guide. I naw have started a few small entrepreneurships with the help of this book. I learned how to incorporate every company and protect my personal assets with an LLC, or PLLC, and to use a PLLC to protect myself as I persue a business degree, as well as start my own Psychology Firm after earning my PHd. I learned so much from this book. It nearly earned me an A in college, too.
