Business Plans 2.0

For about a week or so, I've been corresponding with a reader of the InsureMe Agent Blog, who recently came to the U.S. and would like to get his entrepreneurial feet wet by opening a new insurance agency. All the new business talk got me really excited about PlanHQ today.

PlanHQ is web application that helps you form a business plan, track results, collaborate with other team members, and more.

Judging from the tour, with PlanHQ you can:

  • See what's on your plate in the weeks ahead
  • Quickly add action items for you
  • Track your financials
  • Identify target markets and competitors (including how many competitors you have and where they're located)
  • Track goals
  • Provide a central place for your team to check in and leave notes
  • Create dynamic business plan content (because the semantics tend to shift during planning)
  • Customize your document so it matches your unique requirements
If numbers, pie charts and line graphs make your heart palpitate, PlanHQ is for you. It's such a cool, intuitive app, I want to start a business just so I can use it. Check it out, along with venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki's tips for writing a business plan.

Happy business expansion!
