Why is a QuickPlan® so detailed,  I was told that I could get by with just a few pages? In 1996 QuickPlan® was created and introduced the first Industry specific business planning software based upon the Small Business Administrations' outline of the business plan standard that they list on their website. " The importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan cannot be overemphasized. Much hinges on it: outside funding, credit from suppliers, management of your operation and finances, promotion and marketing of your business, and achievement of your goals and objectives". In short the devil is in the details and the details in any business model can make or break your endeavor. QuickPlan® is dedicated to taking you through the Business Plan exercise that you need to accomplish in order to become a successful operator and exceed the SBA's expectations.
