The 2007 version of Business Plan Pro, the ever-popular business planning software has just been released. The latest issue includes some new features and resources to make writing your business plan even easier.

Several new features in Business Plan Pro 2007 are based on customer feedback and give users state-of-the-art functionality including a more detailed Plan Review, a more powerful Plan Setup and improved menus and icons for ease of use.

Additional new features include a redesigned Home page with easy-to-access resources, more tutorials and free, on-line training sessions to help customers take advantage of all the functionalities the market-leading business plan software provides.

New interactive instructions with definitions at the click of a button are part of the extensive "Help" resources within the programme. Users will also have more control than ever before over chart colour palettes, headers, footers and the overall formatting of their final business plan.

Business Plan Pro 2007 also comes with a free copy of “Start Your Business: Week by Week”. This best-selling book is ideal for anyone starting a business in the UK, telling you exactly what to do to start a business, step by step, week by week.

Speaking on the launch, Alan Gleeson, Managing Director of Palo Alto Software, UK and Ireland commented, “The latest edition of Business Plan Pro builds on the strong successes of previous versions. This 2007 version has more UK resources than ever before and is the most comprehensive business-planning product available in the marketplace,”

“Business Plan Pro 2007 is full of new features to make even the very first experience of putting a business plan together easy, and it is guaranteed to save you considerable time and effort in writing a business plan.”

Entrepreneurs that have used the Business Plan Pro software frequently comment on the success they've had with it;

"Business Plan Pro was definitely a major part in me getting an unsecured loan for the business. The bank said it was one of the most professional business plans they had seen." Declan O’Toole, Dorset

For the entrepreneur or small business owner who is starting a new company, launching new products or seeking funding or partners, Business Plan Pro 2007 produces professional business plans quickly and easily.
