BizPlan Builder helps you qualify your numbers so that you can stand up to the scrutiny of venture capitalists.

It is not the first time that I am buying templates on the internet, but I must confess that this is the first time that I am effectively using them. The short comments added to the templates about how to fill it and justification for the data is also very helpful.
Firstly, you are not pushing for putting the name of your company everywhere into the document which make them look more professional. Secondly they can be easily used outside of the States by not making references to specific "domestic" texts & laws.

As an expert financial consultant, I was amazed at the depth of the package and its ease of use.

We've been using your financial model for many years for financial analysis, partnering, M&A, and VC analysis here in Silicon Valley and in Europe. I have used a few other programs that cost $1500+ and yours are better, more accurate and more detailed. I can trust the integrity of the BizPlan Builder financial models.

BizPlan Builder is the best financial projections software I've used... Our company is a computer security software startup. We were asked by an important first customer and a venture fund to submit a project and venture funding proposal and business plan.
I have done this with a few different companies over the past few years, and I like BizplanBuilder better than the financial projection software packages I have tried, because of the unhindered flexibility to export it to an Excel workbook. Once I export it, I attach my own Excel worksheets to the workbook, to build up our own assumptions, then write formulas into the cells of the exported JIAN exported 'Assumptions' worksheet to suck values in from my various assumptions worksheets. Surprisingly, I don't know why, I couldn't get that unrestricted flexibility with your competitors.
In fact, I opened the new "Comprehensive" model you sent me, and I am surprised to find that you at JIAN have now built in a bunch of assumptions worksheets just the way I have always done in the past. That's great.

It helped structure my thinking even though I've written a number of business plans. I probably saved 40 hours, if not more, and it really helped me get started. That's always been the hardest part before. It only took us about 4 months to get $3,000,000 using BizPlan Builder. My CPA really liked it, too.

I have been a long time customer of JIAN using BizPlan Builder and MarketingBuilder to start several companies including one public company, with three more in the works. Your products have saved me MUCH time and energy. I also enjoyed your book, Business Black Belt — finding many parallels to my philosophies.

The questions and advice included with BizPlan Builder are, in our opinion, the best part of the program. We recommend BizPlan Builder because it gets you thinking about what it takes to start and run a successful business. And with a price tag of $100, it costs a lot less than a consultant.

As someone who had never turned on a computer, I used biz plan builder and raised $5 million in capital to buy a large health club because of your software. I still get compliments on my first biz plan when folks want to see what we did to raise our original capital. I always send them your direction!
