Get Your Business Plan Here!

If it's time to draw up a business plan, the new FINPACK Business Plan software can help.

When do you need a business plan? Whenever you need to describe your farm business to lenders, partners, family members, or employees. You especially need a business plan if you are considering:

expansion/modernization
financial reorganization
new enterprises or shifts in emphasis with existing enterprises
entering into partnerships or incorporating
transferring the farm.

Whatever your situation, the new FINPACK Business Plan can help you. It includes a comprehensive business plan outline, sample plans, detailed tips on what to include in your business plan, and links to Web sites that are relevant to the portion of the plan you're working on. It's the first publicly available business planning software designed specifically for agricultural producers.

You can use the FINPACK Business Plan as a stand-alone application or you can insert information from FINPACK, Marketeer, FINBIN, or any other software into your plan. You can even insert pictures and graphics into the plan.
