I want a program building that produces a business plan for the user. Users will load the program onto their computer via internet download or from an .exe file from a CD ROM.
I want a simple but professional interface that reflects my company - details later - with good graphics.
The user will input business information (text) into the program via text boxes. At the conclusion the program will collate the inputted information then produces a Business Plan via MS Word (more details in attached).
The program will also have the facility to send an email to me when the user completes specific tasks within the process and at the conclusion of the process. (I will discuss these email points in more detail when I am communicating with the coder working with me)
Opportunity ??" In my own market there exists the need to create a simple/basic business planning tool for small businesses. Many programs are available but they are complicated and detailed to the extent that business owners are scared off before they get underway.
Objectives ??" As soon as my clients open the program I want them to be comfortable with what they see and not be intimidated by detail and corporate jargon.
Functionality ??" My client will read the instructions provided and answer questions by typing detail into text boxes.
This information will then be automatically submitted into a pre-designed Business Plan Template with the capability of printing and/or saving.
For detailed information see attached notes.
