Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
This web site from the US Small Business Administration has what you are looking for.
I would certainly recommend "Business Plan Pro" from Palo Alto Software. Also the SCORE Portland Chapter has developed a very well written Business Planner which you can find on their web site at www.scorepdx.org. There is a very good article about the elements of a business plan which I recommend that you read: www.ychange.com/essential-small-business-plan-elements.pdf
The search for people who can answer your question continues for as long as needed - until you find the answer you were looking for.
When an answer is posted by someone who was invited (byYedda or by yourself) to answer your question, their answer is marked with a yellow "invited by Yedda".

Of course, the more helpful your answers are, the more likely you are to be invited to future questions...
There are no such programs that can actually help persons to write a business plan. Take an appointment from a business planner and talk to him in person , I think that will help you more than online consulting.

If you have no experience on making a business plan, you can browse for business plan software reviews on the internet and start to make a comparison for available business plan software. I recommend to have Business Plan Pro software to help you to make business plan as one of the features on this business planning software will guide you through step by step business planning creation.
