It is easy to use, it has a lot of examples that you can draw from, and there's good technical support. They also make Marketing Plan Pro, which is also pretty good. It isn't overly expensive at around a hundred bucks. If you want free, they have another site where you can download plans that were created with Business Plan Pro for free: . That site also has lots of info on creating the plan and other business startup advice that you may find helpful. There are other packages available, some which are really just templates without guidance, some that are more suited for much bigger projects than yours. Overall, I've found BP Pro to be a good compromise between the two. The software I've mentioned is for Windows. If you're using a Mac, you're pretty much out of luck: I've yet to find a decent business planning software package for that platform. For my Macintosh clients, I recommend they install Parallels Desktop and run BP Pro on Windows on their Mac. Hope this helps, and good luck with the new venture!
