Hi Burke,
Thank you for your mail. I enjoy all the messages/emails and information provided by you and your team. I also pass on all the information to one of my business plan consultant friends who also enjoys it. Because we do business plans/marketing plans and other business activities for clients in SA as a living, every bit of information/help from your side is very much appreciated.

We are always on the lookout for ways to improve our service to clients and because America is far ahead on business issues your help/information is of high value. We also think that your company is miles ahead of the competition and looking forward to use more of your products in the future. Therefore, please keep us updated on any new developments and information of how we can improve our services and promote your business in SA.

Warm Regards,

Hansie Britz, Libra Consultants, Randburg, South Africa, www.librafunding.co.za

Who Is Burke Franklin?

Burke Franklin is the creator of Business Power Tools. In 1988 he introduced BizPlanBuilder®, the business planning software that revolutionized how entrepreneurs prepare strategic business plans for funding and/or growth. To date, Business Power Tools has sold more than 2,000,000 subscriptions worldwide, and, while from the clients who have contacted us, we’ve learned that they’ve leveraged our tools to raise more than $3.0 BILLION through angel investors, venture capitalists, the SBA, bank, and alternative financing.

Over the past 30+ years, Burke has spoken to and worked with thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, bankers, consultants, and thought leaders who have unselfishly shared their expertise and insights into building great businesses. Burke’s goal is to share with you much of the actionable information he’s learned from these experts through written articles, as well as audio and video interviews and tutorials. Burke also weaves in many of the lessons and knowledge he’s gained over the years managing and growing Business Power Tools.

We hope you will join us as we work together to help you build your successful business that you can someday sell for a huge profit!
