Why do I need a business plan?
YOU NEED A BUSINESS PLAN TO GET A LOAN. The number one reason for business failure in America is under-capitalization. Your business plan is your sales presentation to a lender. A business plan also helps you account for the key operational, market and financial components of your business. It will give you a competitive edge when you launch or grow your business.

What system requirements are required?
In order to complete your Good-To-Go business plan you will need a computer with Windows 95 or higher, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, a CD ROM drive and either a disk or enough memory to save the business plan on your computer.

What user skills are needed to complete a Good-To-Go Business Plan?
Because the Good-To-Go Business Plan already contains significant standardized language you can easily make the editing changes with simple typing skills and by utilizing the backspace and delete features of Microsoft Word. Your financial projections will be automatically computed once you fill out the financial entry page. You do not need to know how to use Microsoft Excel, accounting or how to build a spreadsheet.

Why should I use Good-To-Go instead of another product?
Good-To-Go Business Plans are user-friendly interactive Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel templates containing pre-composed industry specific language in a traditional business plan format. It will take you less time to complete your quality lender ready business plan using a Good-To-Go Business Planning template than with others. A Good-To-Go Business Plan is not a software program, so you spend your time creating your business plan not learning how to use a software program. A Good-To-Go Business Plan is a business and state specific interactive document. You simply edit existing language to your specific business; add your research information and financial numbers then print.

How long will it take to complete?
You will finish your Good-To-Go Business Plan in considerably less time than any software based business planning tool. The time it takes you to complete your Good-To-Go Business Plan depends on the primary market research you need to gather and your knowledge of your specific business. Many of our customers finish their Good-To-Go Business Plan over a weekend rather than the 40-80 hours it typically takes to complete a business plan using other formats.
