IT Milk: entry

I just purchased software called Business in a Box by Envision Software. It is an impressive collection of general business, legal, and accounting documents contained within editing software. The post title is an exaggeration, of course, since Business in a Box is not even close to a full replacement for a lawyer. But these templates are a good start and can save you money, for general things, if you fill them in and take them to a lawyer to check over (please correct me if this is not good practice, lol). What provoked the search for this type of software was a lawyer quoting way too much for drawing up a general contract from scratch. Business in a Box costs $299 but saved over 3x the costs of using a lawyer to do the same thing, making it well worth the investment.

Business in a Box includes the following types of documents:

• Business planning and management
• Contractors and consultants
• Credit and collection
• Finance and accounting
• Human resources
• Internet and technology
• Legal
• Operation and logistics
• Real estate
• Sales and marketing

As you can see, this collection is comprehensive and covers pretty much everything related to starting and running a business. And these documents are not superficial templates that just skim the surface, like the ones you are likely to find floating around on the internet. Each one goes into a lot of detail and they are formatted in a clean manner.

When I was shopping around for software like this, another one that I stumbled upon was Proposal Kit. Proposal Kit costs the same amount and offers the same features. But I was hesitant to purchase it because it looked outdated and sort of scammy too. But it’s not the case with Business in a Box, especially since they offer updates for life (for a nominal flat fee).

Make a practical investment for your business and buy Business in a Box now.
