Victoria’s GlasseyStrategy has announced that StratPad Plus, the second of its iPad products, is now available in the App Store for $9.99 USD. StratPad Plus helps owners and managers of small businesses create a high-quality summary business plan quickly and easily with a unique step-by-step approach.

“Small businesses need an easy and compelling way to tell their stories to bankers, investors and potential partners. A two- or three-page business plan is often all that’s needed. But many small business owners either don’t have the time to do it themselves or can’t afford high-priced consultants,” said Alex Glassey, managing partner of GlasseyStrategy. “With StratPad Plus, they can do it themselves quickly, easily and inexpensively.”

The StratPad series of iPad apps was initially launched on December 1st and has met with world-wide success selling in 16 countries and receiving glowing ratings and reviews.

StratPad teaches users about business strategy and planning and then helps them create their own strategy with a step-by-step template.
