A must for start-ups by C. Waller (Waco, TX)

This book is a must for anyone starting up a daycare business or for those whose creditors are demanding a financial and/or business plan. I created my business plan using this and other resources, but this was by far the most helpful. The spreadsheet examples took half the work out of my way, and I was able to set it all up in Excel using her strategies. With my spreadsheets in hand I was able to back into my expenses using her method, and then work my way into the rates charged from there (as opposed to setting rates and then realizing later that my costs exceeded my cash flow). A very helpful resource!

This is the most helpful book I have bought. I am opening a Center and the tables/forms are great! The best feature is that they are completely editable and helped me finish my proposal. I really recommend this book to you if you are starting a business or just want to evaluate you financial status. I showed my tables and forms to another Child Care business owner and she asked me to get her another copy! The money was well invested in this book. I am very happy with it.
