Summer-Fall 1993 *** MEMO FROM THE AUTHOR *** To: Entrepreneurs Subject: B/Plan Developer: Nuts & Bolts Planning Guide þÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄþ The goal is to get your project funded. B/Plan Developer provides entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives with the necessary strategies, techniques, and tips to prepare a market-driven and investor-centered business plan. Designed for those seeking cap- ital, B/Plan Developer is a hypertext guide that focuses on a stepwise process and documentation standards, to get the job done right...a nuts and bolts approach that works! B/Plan Developer takes the entrepreneur beyond the usual fill-in- the-blanks method advocated by other programs. (If preparing a business plan were a simple matter of fill-in-the-blanks then why are so many businesses UNDERCAPITALIZED?) Fill-in-the-blanks works only if you're presenting a business plan for funding to your mom, dad, or rich dying relative. Preparing a marketable business plan requires thoughtful analysis, intelligent planning, solid documentation, and comprehensive review to attract BUCKS...B/Plan Developer guides you through this pro- cess.
