Product Reviews

(2 stars) - Too limited !
The software uses interview approach to gather information and then generate the document. If your situation is not one of the choices, you can't really change it. For legal software, it is way too limited to be of good use. I ended up using it as a reference and re-write my own. I am trying to form my own company and the Article of Incorporation is missing from the software. It turns out that you can file the Article of Incorporation online for some States. It would be nice if the software can link you to the State directly for filing.

(1 stars) - Pretty thin, not worth the money!
You'd expect a piece of software with this title to really present you with a lot of options when building such a document. I found the documents produced by this software (e.g. corporate bylaws) to be rather simplistic when compared to some samples I had in some books on starting/running a small business.
The documents, aside from not being that many, are written in what you could call plain English. While some people might find that good, when drafting legally binding documents I'd expect hardcore lawyer English with clear and precise clauses.
Do yourself a favor, hire a lawyer or buy such documents from a law firm.

Anybody wanna buy a slightly used Quicken Lawyer 2003? :)

(5 stars) - Feeling great about my coffee house now!
As a entrepreneur opening a coffee house, I was a bit worried because frankly I didn't know ANYTHING about starting my own business. All the paperwork, where to get money, how to get permits and all that. But this software is like a library of information (it includes six business books, I believe), and it helps you fill out forms one field at a time. I feel really organized and on top of things now.
