This book gives valuable how-to samples of business plans. I recommend this book to individuals who don't know where to begin in the process of obtaining financing or getting a grant." A. Costans, banker "The business plan for my janitorial supplies business is based on a business plan in this book, and I used the plan as the tool to attract working capital and grow my business." J. Giflaski, business manager "Whether you have a start-up or a growing business, this book will show you how to present your business concept." Augustine G, financier "For years, I had kicked around the idea of starting a business, but I didn't know where to start. This book opened my eyes, and the language wasn't 'over my head.' I realized that the companies in this book were started by regular people who used paperwork like the samples in this book as their 'tools of the trade.' In fact, I felt like I was looking at the 'trade secrets' of successful companies and successful start-ups when I looked over the documents in this book. To make a long story short, I figured out how and where to start on the path to my entrepreneurial dream, and this book was the amazing tool that helped me find the right path. I still use this book when I am seeking valuable insights into how to further market my successful product line." Emilio C. "I already had a business in a stable industry but this book caught my eye. To my surprise, I have learned a great deal about marketing my established business from the 'business resumes' and marketing tools in this book. It's hard to find people or books that will show you how to get started or how to grow your business, but this book does just that. I have made a lot of money by using the insights and samples in this book." Butch C.
