A business plan precisely defines your business, identifies your goals, and serves as your firm's resumé. The importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan cannot be overemphasized.

Now it's easy--and you can do it in less than an hour.This new book and companion CD-ROM will demonstrate how to construct a current and pro-forma balance sheet, an income statement and a cash flow analysis. You will learn to allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make good business decisions.
