Business Plans Kit For Dummies

by Steven D. Peterson, Peter E. Jaret

While Business Plans For Dummies covers the strategy of putting a business plan together, Business Plans Kit For Dummies covers how to put a business plan to work! This kit covers business plans for every stage (and every type) of e-business, sole proprietorships, small businesses, service companies, high-tech companies, non-profits -- even business plans for middle managers and restructuring a company. It emphasizes methods for obtaining funding and sources to tap for capital, and explains how to formulate business plans according to the planned business model -- bricks-and-mortar vs. e-business. It also includes updated terminology and jargon from the business planning and venture capital industries, and shows you how to gear specific plans for businesses in different phases of development (i.e., startup, expansion, etc.).

I usually don't read Dummies books, but this book has some good reviews. I am looking for new thoughts on business plans and sales plans. I am thinking I can create some new ideas from some new places.

I feel poorly placed to review. It had some helpful and lots of not helpful information. Even though it reaches out to single proprietor business occasionally, it still seems much more focused on the larger and more corporate end of small business and concerns. So not a bad book, but not for me.

(If you're looking into a crafting business I think I'd say to look elsewhere, this is much more service, outsourced retail, and web oriented.)

Completely invaluable information as I begin my endeavor to begin my own business. This was a remarkable tool that familiarized me with business topics and lingo as well as helped me to create a thorough and solid business plan.

Gave me a lot of insight to opening my own business if I want too, and helping my husband write his business plan with it.
