www.Masterplans.com owners Bryan Howe and Brent Butler, along with Rick Nischalke and William Dean have been defrauding entrepreneurs seeking business plan writing services for over five years and millions of dollars.

They say on their website that MBAs and Masters level writers will be working on your business plan as a team. these people do not exist.

As quoted from website:

"You'll have an MBA in Finance doing the numbers, a Master of English writing the prose, and an MBA in Marketing creating your marketing strategy."

Where are these people? Not here:

http://www.masterplans.com/company.html

If they did exist wouldn't the company back that up?

Masterplans.com was listed on the Inc. 500 list as one of the fastest gowing companies in the USA based upon this lie. I bet Entrepreneur magazine would like to hear about this along with Al Pacino, who's listed on their site as a reference. Did they really work with Al Pacino? Does Al Pacino know they're using his image and reference to scam people. does Carolyn Kepcher know she's contributing, unknowingly, to this scam by giving her endorsement? her website http://carolynandco.com/ doesn't even exist anymore.

If any people out there have been ripped off contact me at (((ROR redacted))) with information to help stop this fraud.

This ongoing www.Masterplans.com fraud has been going on for some time now and is about to be stopped. Let's protect other aspiring business owners from getting taken advantage of and help those who've already been scammed.

Where did this fabricated version of Masterplans come from? http://mp.businessplan.com/company.html. Another version of the same Masterplans.com scam.

On and on the scam goes.

Paul

masterplan.com complaint

#3General Comment

Tue, August 14, 2012

I just got off the phone with a client that said that he says there a lot of customer complaints regarding masterplan.com. I see them advertise all over. They sound similar to the Ethos360 before they went bankrupt.

We use to send clients to masterplan.com but never heard from them again. We will stop sending clients to masterplan.com. Instead, we will send customers to BusinessPlanMyWay. I spoke to them and they are aware of the masterplan.com problems. They seemed to understand and provided all the information that our clients need.

#4UPDATE EX-employee responds

Wed, December 16, 2009

Everything that "Paul" wrote in his post about www.masterplans.com and bryan howe in Portland, Oregon is true. AND it's very easy to prove. Simply contact me and I'll provide you with all the third party information that proves it or I can tell you where to go to figure it out yourself. Or just double check the information Paul provided. Its all right there. And its all provable FACTS.

I worked at masterplans.com for over a year feeling sick to my stomach everyday once I learned the salespeople lie, the website lies, everything about the company was a lie and all I saw was the owners buying new luxury cars and houses. They would walk around laughing about how the clients are stupid and they (the owners) ripped them off good. Bragging about how much they took each client for. I got out as soon as I could.

Masterplans and Bryan Howe know the truth that's why Bryan (or whomever he asked) wrote a rebuttal threatening to SHOOT PAUL IN THE HEAD TWICE!!!!!! Bryan Howe threatened to kill somebody. Now does that sound like an honest person or someone trying to cover up breaking the law? Desperate times call for desperate measures, right Bryan? Cant sleep at night can you?

Any legitimate and reputable company can easily provide factual information to respond to a complaint. Masterplans on the other hand threatens to shoot someone in the head TWICE.

Paul, I have read about masterplans.com and it does have a great reputation. I know people like you Paul who can spread the negativity. Yes they are listed in Entpreneur. I have their article. They helped a farm raise 22 million dollars in 5 years. Score officials know them. The BBB knows them. Paul, if you expect things to happen to you in moments, then I would suggest you are an idiot and a bigot and not just that, you are stupid too. No one means no one can get results in days. It takes years before something can be achieved. Fools like you should be shot in the head twice.

The Truth of the Matter

Fri, August 21, 2009

Gee Paul, Thanks for the factual update.

Its so refreshing to come across yet another conscientious citizen who has nothing to gain (or no axe to grind) by disparaging other peoples good names.

And being such a solid citizen and crusader for good for the masses, its odd that you would feel the need to post this type of hate mail anonymously. If you are being 100% truthful (and of course how could anyone ever doubt your credibility), then why did you redact your contact number? Why operate under a fictitious name?

Its odd that you never mentioned actually doing business with MasterPlans, yet you claim to have all of this insider information. I find it hard to believe that someone who has never had a disappointing experience with a firm would take the time or effort to write such a defaming post. And if you did, you would already have mentioned it in your post, unless of course there was another reason for doing so.

That plus your claim (or insinuation at the very least) of insider information about the company, would lead any thinking individual to conclude that your efforts must fall into one of two categories. Either you are a competitor. Or you are a disgruntled ex-employee that probably lost your job on less than congenial terms.

Regardless of which camp you fall into, your credibility and banner of nobility for your efforts is totally suspect. In either case, please take your little vendetta and crawl back into the hole you crawled out of. No one cares about your delusions of self importance or your personal agenda.

Its a sad world that we live in when anyone can post an accusation (from hiding) about anyone they choose, without having the guts or integrity to accuse someone of wrongdoing right to their face. Have you ever considered therapy Paul???

Signed,

Paul's Brother
(see, I don't have to prove that either do I? Kind of proves the point doesn't it!)
