Given our unique experience, we help you anticipate investors' and lenders' questions.

With over a $1.5 Billion raised through venture capitalists, investors, banks, the SBA and corporate management, BizPlanBuilder has proven to be the entrepreneur's choice for producing a plan to convince "the money" to back you.

"BizPlanBuilder employs a refreshing combination of the philosopher and expert mentor approach."
- Gerald Herter, CPA, MBA, Accounting Technology

We've taken the best elements from hundreds of successful business plans and presentations, and incorporated them into specific template documents that you can make into your own — prepared from the investors' and lenders' perspective. BizPlanBuilder breaks business planning down into a series of short sections that help you describe your unique business concept, the marketplace, strategy, and prospects for success, with pre-programmed Excel workbooks doing all of the financial math. The included PowerPoint "pitch" template has been refined after many investor presentations. Besides 20+ years of feedback from business owners and consultants like you.

Most of JIAN's 10 business-building titles run on this same system — learn one, use them all.
