It's up-to-date and has the right combination of structure and content to help you all the way from idea through financing to the ongoing management of your growing company.

The business plan loved by more investors & lenders
Many say they want you to write your plan from scratch, but that's too much work (and just plain crazy!), especially if you need a plan right away. Plus, investors are asking more questions than ever and they want to be absolutely sure that everything is properly aligned before they'll write you a check. You can't afford to take any chances here — since we've been doing this longer than anyone, we can help you anticipate and address all the questions and concerns. By using BizPlanBuilder you'll complete a working business plan that will last a long time, serve multiple purposes and appeal to all who are interested in your business.

Developed & refined longer than any other
JIAN wrote the first business planning software 20 years ago and has been refining and perfecting it ever since. Many things have changed and BizPlanBuilder has too. It's still the fastest and easiest way of turning your ideas into a winning plan and a successful business. That's why BizPlanBuilder is so widely accepted (and often referred) as the best business planning software by so many people who really understand business planning and business plans today.

The best of hundreds of plans built-in give you more ideas!
Over the years, we've taken the best of hundreds of business planning components and incorporated them into a useable number of great prototype documents you can build upon. You'll find that this method is far more robust than deconstructing and rebuilding a limited so-called industry-specific cookie-cutter plan template. (Read the Reviews.) We've already done the work for you, plus we have been working with entrepreneurs and investors for 20 years.

Includes everything you need to get funded
BizPlanBuilder also includes the all-important supporting documents to use for presenting your plan, plus $600+ worth of extras.

For yourself, you can work on your business plan from your office, home, and laptop. It's easy.

 Expert comments throughout explain everything
The next best thing to having us do the work for you is to have our collection of expert advice, comments and suggestions woven throughout every section explaining what to do and why. (Only you will see them—they don't print.) Also, the JIAN Handbook of Business Planning included with BizPlanBuilder provides a wealth of experience, ideas and information, plus a variety of additional tools to help you build your business and manage it more effectively — with or without outside financing.

Built for professionals as well as novices
For the first-time business planner, you'll appreciate how much has already been done for you. We've written most of the text and lead you through completing the sentences, we've provided expert comments throughout, plus we've included a complete set of financial models that will vividly demonstrate the effects of sales and expenses over time.

Our business plan financial models offer excel flexibility and easy customization. If you're a business planning pro, you will appreciate the flexibility of the BizPlanBuilder system as well as the quality of the content that you would expect — for you, this is a real working toolset.

Flexible financial models help you project your financial future
Whether you're writing a formal business plan for investors or developing a meaningful forecast for your business, BizPlanBuilder's financial models will make the process faster, easier, and yes — even fun! It's never been easier to organize your ideas, see how sales and expense projections effect your bottom line, and quickly output professional-looking, beautifully formatted documents required by banks and investors — so you can get funded fast!

BizPlanBuilder prints a professional business plan presentation approved by investors, lenders and the SBA. All of the financial models are completely configured, so you don't have to be a spreadsheet or financial expert. Just enter your sales, expense, growth and other assumptions and variables and let the program run the calculations to produce investor-ready financial statements. See "what-if" when you change scenarios.

Automatic assembly & complete customization
Once you've completed the selected sections, BizPlanBuilder automatically assembles your plan... ready for review, final printing, or saving to a web site. A comprehensive business plan can help you get what you want for your business. BizPlanBuilder makes it easy.
