The business plan loved by investors and lenders

You can't afford to take any chances here. 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. With BizPlanBuilder 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!

"People come to us all the time seeking funding,
and we use BizPlan Builder to show them the
business plan content and format we like to see."
- David Wilt, E.D. Wilt Investments, Washington DC.

Supporting documents and extras assure your success
BizPlanBuilder also includes the all-important supporting documents to use for presenting your plan, plus $600+ worth of extras. And, although everyone provides a variety of free Internet resources like we do, we also reveal to you the politically incorrect stuff because that's what will give you the edge you need. (Did you know that many investors won't invest in a Nevada corporation because the ownership/management need not be disclosed?)

The best of hundred of plans built in!
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.

The sections of your plan that a lender will focus on include those addressing historical performance, projected future performance, and management experience. (If you need help putting together an appropriate business plan, try using JIAN's BizPlanBuilder software tool. It is easy to use and recognizable to most lenders.)"

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.

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

Word & Excel Templates Only — Edit, Format & Print

The Macintosh version is a collection of Word and Excel templates that contain the very same content as the PC program. Unlike the Windows-based program with its document assembly system, we have taken the content and formatted it directly into complete Word and Excel spreadsheet templates for you—beautifully formatted documents that you can easily edit and format to your liking using Word & Excel.

The financial models are in Excel workbooks—they behave the same as in the Windows-based system. Click them open, then click along the tabs at the bottom to access each page... You'll see, it's very comprehensive, straight-forward and credible.

No Windows-like Application

Although the Windows "wizard" is not there, we have already assembled the documents for you — for easy editing and formatting in Word. We hope to have a cross-platform product out within the next 6 months that is collaborative for all of our users. We will honor our 6 month free upgrade to you at the time that product becomes available...

The top 3 unique reasons why BizPlanBuilder outperforms other business planning software:

1. It works on the Macintosh!
   We started JIAN on the Macintosh! Some friends were Apple employees and loaned us their Mac. JIAN's first product was MacBizPlan! Well here it is 20 years later, only a lot better. Also, because the Macintosh version is templates-only (and not a Windows application), we give you $20 off — when you click any of the BizPlanBuilder 'Buy Now' buttons, then choose Macintosh, your price will be zapped $20!
   
   
2. BizPlanBuilder is the only "open" business planning system on the market.
   It actually uses Word, Excel & PowerPoint. You can customize everything as well as add in your own documents. Financial models are completely flexible and enable an unlimited number of links to and from other spreadsheets.
   
   
3. BizPlanBuilder incorporates professionally-written, useable text that provides the desired content and demonstrates the style proven with investors & lenders. The idea is that it's easier to edit than to write from scratch. We give you far more than just "filler" text, we actually written the plan for — finish the sentences, overwrite the examples, and make it perfect for your business. It's easy.

I'm a general contractor. I invented a new construction tool and I needed some money to build a prototype and launch a new business. I pretty much knew what I needed to do and I had a potential investor lined up, but he wanted to see a business plan before he invested a dime. I bought BizPlanBuilder on Monday, wrote it on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and on Saturday he gave me $45,000.

"JIAN's focus on business planning is tighter and more concise than many of its competitors, with a strong dose of sales and marketing insights that help the plan serve as a working document rather than just a financial tool."
- Dave McClure, Accounting Today, January 2006
