This is an outstanding product and the way it has been designed is great.  I have never seen a system that is as user friendly as this one!  All you have to do is answer the questions and the rest is fool proof.  This should allow many entreprenuers like myself to easily address all the requirements for a business plan and funding quickly and painlessly.  Congratulations to the inventors this is a great product especially for these economic times.

This is a great product because it's easy to complete, can be worked on in concert with your team -if you have one- and can be shared or networked online instantly with anyone wanting to take a look. I like that it's compliant and complete and includes due diligence items to save processing and closing costs. Such a platform can make the funding of small business more accessible, and provide a leg up for entrepreneurs not already well connected to funding sources. I'd say this is a must-have also for SBA as an insurer and all related processing and storage. Excellent concept and execution.

I think this is a great software solution that the Government should take a serios look at!!!  Awesome website!!!!!

As a business development professional this could be the product that can really help turn things around for us. It standardizes the business plan and due diligence process for business financing and investment and that in itself is a major accomplishment. The standardization and digital format will allow for tremendous cost savings, for all parties involved, because it allows for all sorts of computer applications, and associated search capabilities, to be applied to the business financing and investment process and significantly streamline it. The standardization also brings with it a greater level of transparency that changes the due diligence process from one of high cost investigation to one of low cost verification. Its standardization will further streamline the process and shorten the funding time dramatically just by the fact that the entrepreneur/ business will now present a complete package (presentation, business plan, interactive financials, due diligence report and support documentation), everything needed by any lender or investor to make a decision on funding their application, the first time out. Because the application is web based, entrepreneurs/ businesses can now truly exploit the global business financing and investment capital funding pool because now any financial institution or investor, anywhere on the planet, can be given the opportunity to see and review a complete package for funding. In fact, with computer/ Internet search capabilities, it will allow financial institutions and investor to actively seek, screen and categorize business ideas and funding requests from anywhere in the world. If nothing else, it is a rock solid “disaster” risk management tool for any business and can tremendously improve relief efforts when disaster do strike. With a properly filled out copy safely stored on the web, when disaster strikes all you need to do is get an Internet connection and you have everything you need to immediately apply for business relief, financing or investment and the government can, with just a few clicks of a mouse, easily designate different areas for relief and other special funding. Just an all round excellent product, I think it would definitely be worth looking into as part of the solution to our current economic crisis. I think it is a win/ win situation for everyone involved that can bring about tremendous cost savings, greater transparency, while, improving funding rates for entrepreneurs/ businesses and opening the door for them to the global financing & investment pool; I’d say it’s the right product, at the right time for our time!

Someone has been a sleep at the wheel.This kind of reporting should have been around along time ago. If we had this kind of due diligence reporting we might not have gotten into this mess.

I thought this was a brilliant product. Finally, someone's taken business funding out of the paper age and into the digital age. It should make it a lot more transparent to all involved as well as allow for some automated oversight of the entire funding process. It could be a great source for real time economic data that can be taken down to the neighorhood, since it is based on a digital platform. It should really speed up the process of getting funds to small business as a whole.

I agree with this idea.

Because this is a standards-compliant approach, it contains the terminology (i.e., definitions, concept-maps/ERD/Process-Model/Ontology/Value-Chain taxonomy, thesaurus) for the "business-planning and reporting" functions to provide management controls over resources, within a broader organizational management life cycle .  It therefore has a good semantics (i.e., structured meaning) base.

It is therefore using a semantically-defined and disciplined  metamodel (i.e., data, metadata, data rules), and methodology (i.e., process, business rules).  It has a good syntax (data structure and grammar).

It is using a semantically and syntactically defined and disciplined design over an easily accessible and usable technical platform (i.e., Internet and users' browsers).  It has a good technology base.

Overall, I would say this is a good solution, semantically, syntactically, and technically.  This business-planning and due-diligence-assessment solution's functionality and richness is available for a low cost by US standards.

Awesome Idea

This is a very good idea. We really need a product like this!
