Look in the following thread for some Excel and other business/contracting document help:

Also for anyone looking into estimating software, check out
http://www.winest.com which uses RS Means databases for electrical and other trades. You'll be able to download the 'real' version but not be able to save the estimates. We're using this at work (a gov't facility) and it seems to be working well for us.
A good accounting software is a must along with a decent tax advisor and a boat-load of self-discipline to do the filing, prepare the neat & tidy job packages (estimate of materials and labor, scope of work narrative & drawings along with any permit-related, contract or approval info).
If you've not gotten any response back from SCORE, send an email to someone who appears to be either an electrically-minded person or several who appear to be higher-ups or major stakeholders in the organization and state that you've now waited 8 months for a response... (I would add that the value of their support for your launch appears to be dwindling but diplomacy might be better if you have any response from them eventually).
