Animal Lovers & Pets

In 1999, I was approached by another company in the pet industry about the possibility of selling our company. At that time, I purchased the JIAN BizPlan Builder software so I could organize my thoughts and write a detailed plan to use as a tool when negotiating with the potential buyers. After completing the plan, it became evident to me that we could easily double the size of the company on our own in a relatively short period of time. If we could accomplish this on our own, why sell? Needless to say, we decided against selling the company and instead chose a path of rapid expansion. In the 5 years since we first used the software, we have tripled the sales of the company and more than quadrupled net profit. Thanks for providing the tools necessary to help small businesses make educated decisions and continue to grow.

In 1992 Linda Bleoo was working as an employee at a pet store in Mississauga, Canada. After she discovered that the company was going bankrupt, her friends convinced her to buy the store for herself and run her own small business. At first, she didn't think she could do it. Besides, seven established pet store chains were competing for the deal she wanted. The Bank of Montreal chose to back Linda and gave her the $65,000 she needed.

" I don't know how I would even have started a project like this without BizPlan Builder. I was up against seven big players in the pet industry and managed to beat them all out because of the professionalism in my business plan. "

Weddings & Event Planning

What an awesome product! I wanted to thank your team for developing a product for entrepreneurs. I just wanted to talk about the benefits of using Biz Plan Builder. It is great to have a product that incorporates teaching and the entrepreneur’s point of view. Burke obviously knows what it is like to build a business from scratch, learn the investor language, and the importance of networking. Every entrepreneur needs to understand these things as they are another important part of building a business.

Biz Plan Builder has all of this. I looked at a lot of business planning software and none of them seem to have the user friendly interface, resources, and in-depth sample plans that I found in Biz Plan Builder. If you’re an entrepreneur, you need every advantage you can get, and Biz Plan Builder definitely gives you that.
