Disclosure for Business Plan Master

In the spirit of full disclosure, we want to let you know how we are paid, and who influences us in our decisions.  We like to believe that we are beyond influence, but there may be a smidgen of "push" still there.

The 7 Step Business Plan Series

This does influence us, or we influence it, whichever is appropriate.  We write this series, or have it written for us.  The "7 Step Business Plan" is our logo.  We do make money each and every time that someone purchases one of these items.

BizMiner

BizMiner is an outstanding service that compiles and presents financial averages on hundreds of thousands of industry segments.  There are other ways of accessing this information, but BizMiner makes it so painless that the nominal fees they charge are well worth it.  We have used this service many, many times and have come to rely on it for rapid, reliable information.

QuickBooks

QuickBooks is simply THE industry standard for small business accounting.  Whether yours is an established business, or a new one, this is the software you need.  Easy transfer of data for tax forms too!

 

Dragon Natural Speaking

Dragon Naturally Speaking is THE solution for slow typists. Create your website or business plan in a jiffy, using verbal commands.  Great for emails, letters, reports, and everything that needs to be put into print!  The hours and hours you will save are well worth the modest investment.

 

Others

There are a number of other companies that pay us for one thing or another.  From time to time those companies have been:

• Bank of America
• Various funding groups (no one single group for any length of time)
• Restaurant fixtures
• Get Your Writing Fighting Fit
• Cash advance service
• American Express
• Pitney Bowes
• Company Corporation
• Collection services
• Other business plan companies
• Master card services
• Staples
• Business insurance brokers

Some of these were direct payment advertising, and some were coop ventures. 

If you see a commercial site referenced in this site, you can assume it is a paid advertisement.

With the dozens and dozens of different industries we talk about in our business plan pages, there is no way we can personally try out all the various offers and companies.  We do, however, make every reasonable attempt to allow only reputable companies on this site.  If you should discover any that are questionable, please let us know.
