If its your idea, I really think that it would be best if you draw it up yourself.
Here are some useful templates from enterprise Ireland

Yes i totally understand what you mean. If you can use microsoft word its straight forward enough. I'm sure you know someone who can use it properly. Whats kind of idea is it?

I got an accountant to do a set up for me - business plan, vat reg, company reg etc. for about €400. It saved a lot of head wrecking when I/you don`t know computers...

You could get an accountant to review a business plan for you which I feel is best. You could also get an accountant to work on it with you. As it needs to be a reflection of your business you need to have as much input into it as possible.

I use business plan pro software to prepare business plans for my clients. It is cheap to buy for yourself - www.paloalto.com

Hi employer...was it an original idea? How do you know u can trust someone with your idea when doing the plans?

Have the person helping you complete a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before you start working with them.

No my idea wasn`t original.
I rang around a few places and the accountant the I got to do the business plan also had a few clients in the same area as myself so she got it spot on as regards future projections.
