Business plan software available through the Small Business Development Center

Development and maintenance of a business plan is a critical step in the life of any business. For this reason, the Small Business Development Center of Southwestern Wisconsin has made available to the general public, Business Plan Pro 2006. This software takes the user through an established format. When complete, the user will have a professional looking business plan and financial analysis. Software users should come prepared with a way to store work such as a floppy disk.

Print functions and the ability to search sample business plans are also available. Questions on how to use the software, or an orientation as to what kind of information goes into a business plan should be directed to the SBDC office at (608) 342-1038. Locations of computers featuring the Business Plan Pro 2006 software include the Crawford County Job Center office in the Prairie du Chien county administration building; in Grant County: SWTC Job Center, the SWTC library, the UW-Platteville library, the SBDC office in the UWP Pioneer Tower, and the Grant County Job Center in Platteville; in Green County: the Blackhawk Technical College-Monroe Campus library, and the Green County Job Center in Monroe; in Iowa County: the county Job Center office in Dodgeville; in Lafayette County: the county Job Center office in Darlington; and in Richland County: the county Economic Development Office in Richland Center.
