			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started using Business Plan Pro somewhere around 2002 or 2003 when the group I work with realized we needed a more organized approach to preparing business plans before presenting them to prospective lenders.</p>
<p>We were approached by a land owner who asked us to determine the highest return on investment as well as the best use for his property. In the process of working on our proposal, one of our team purchased a copy of Business Plan Pro and used it to develop a plan for the proposed “Service Business” we envisioned for the property owner. Using the financials in Business Plan Pro, we presented and were promised the necessary financial backing for the $50 million dollar project. After a short delay, we’ll be moving forward with a completion on the project projected in the next two years.</p>
<p>Moving onward, we were approached with two other developments down in the Bahama’s. Port Terranova, a luxury waterfront condominium community and Davis Landing, a 260 acre project which will include a marina, hotel, affordable home lots plus beach front recreational activities for the public, and finally a water and sewage treatment facility for the area.</p>
<p>We have received a commitment for $500 million dollars and are continuing to use the business plan we built for the remaining $1.2 billion dollars the project will require.</p>
<p><strong>The financial section of Business Plan Pro Premier offers more detailed financial information than any other business planning software available. The written plan we created provided a uniform presentation of projected selling points and benefits for each project. It provided potential investors a way to judge the completeness and judge the thoroughness of the business plan.</strong></p>
<p>The funding that has been approved for the projects mentioned above is close to $600 million dollars and there will be another $700 million dollars required to complete the Davis Landing project.</p>
<p>Robert R. Sewell, President<br />
Davis Landing, LTD</p>
