Very interesting posts here. We are a small boutique consultancy advising entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies on a wide cross section of business planning issues and we have been using Palo Alto’s Business Plan Premier software for years. It provides a comprehensive framework along with various wizards, easy-to-follow guides, and sanity checks that make developing a sound road map for your business easy and fun. A word of caution though. Please don’t cut corners by using one of Palo Alto’s sample business plans in lieu of developing one that is as unique as your business. While these sample plans can be used as a reference, they are not perfect, and their financial projections should not be used to substitute your own financial model – even if your business is similar to the one featured in the sample plan. Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. http://www.FastVentures.com

I am starting a business to sell my art, and I must admit this is all a little overwhelming! Even though I have an accounting background, I still have the thinking patterns of an artist. I am struggling with the market analysis research on this. I'll be continuing research on my own of course, but any advice on researching the "Fine Art" industry market would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! - Billo Megan Gilboy Aspiring Artist Dream Big, Work Relentlessly, Live Passionately!
