Holiday gift for you: Great website
I was looking for a legal document to copy and use when I stumbled upon http://www.docstoc.com/ I thought you might be interested in case you are not aware of this site. I need a QC Deed to change my name on title, so spent a long time yesterday looking for one to copy. Many times we find these sites to find out they want a CC# and offer a week free trial, which of course, they are banking on the cancellation being late so you end up paying, possibly paying, and paying, and so on.
Here is what I received from them after signing up (under one of my bogus addresses in case it was junk mail - you know what I mean). I think this explains better than I:
http://www.docstoc.com/ is, in their own words:

Thank You, "
Anyway, I didn't find exactly what I wanted but added my request to their form and today I got an email and had four (4) deeds for Florida to view and/or download. Cool beans! I have exactly what I wanted.
So, I browsed a bit more (still no money spent or CC# asked for - yea!) and whatever type of business form one may want to possibly use appears to be available. There is much to explore still, but so far I think that others may be interested and I just wanted to share.
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/20391/Business-Plan-for-a-Startup-Business appears to be what some need and others may want invoice template or demand letters, and so on. Enjoy your visit.
Disclaimer: This is not a legal recommendation, blah, blah, blah. I don't recommend using any of these forms over another. One must research one's own state laws before deciding on using anything offered. I don't even pretend to be an attorney or anyone of great wisdom for that matter.

It's not free, anymore. But, thanks, anyway!
When I called the company, they told me that their service was NEVER free. Only free trials were offered at X-Mas. As this post was written during the holiday season, three years ago, it's no longer current. They now require a paid subscription. For less than said subscription fee, I can buy software at nearly any office supply store with many thousands more documents. Buyer Beware! JMHO
