In my efforts to get started on my previous question, I began searching out business plan templates to help me get started. I came across a site goodtogobizplans.com. They basically provide you a preformatted business plan for your specific area of interest, then you personalize it with your data, comments & verbage. Has anyone used this company or its plans before? Have you heard anything about them? Are they any good? Would it be worth the investment? Do you have any other suggestions for good, user friendly business plan templates?

I wouldn't pay for it. There are plenty of free resources out there for help. The Small Business Association usually has free info, you can go to the library as well and they will books full of templates.

Using information from the Small Business Administration site is excellent. It is free information. The following links mentioned are related to their site.

You will find sample business plans on the following site. If you find one that is like the business that you are going to start, then you could tailor your business plan after it.
