Plan Pro - By Palo Alto. One of the
most popular business plan software packages...
but plan on investing several weeks mastering
it. It helps you build an outline.. and generates
really professional looking 3D charts. It
will export the result of your work to PDF
and Word .doc files. The editor is a bit weak,
so you'll probably want to export the last
draft to word and finish touching it up there.
This program is worth it just for the great
3D colored charts it automatically generates...
and it even helps you generate the power point
presentation in which to place them. On top
of all that they provide you with a secure
site (yourname.secureplan.com) from which
people with the proper passwords can download
your plan. CD-Rom
