Write a business plan investors & lenders can believe in and finance.

In an uncertain economic climate with a credit crunch and financial markets in mayhem, how do you finance a startup or an expanding company? The need for expertise in detailed business planning is rising exponentially as investors & lenders have become more demanding, choosy, and risk-averse in the continuing economic downturn. In fact, your ability to deliver a solid, realistic, and compelling business plan may well be the single most important factor in moving your valuable innovations to the next level and securing the funding that will be its lifeblood.

While the bar for admission has unquestionably been raised, there IS still venture capital out there, along with other sources such as friends & family, customers, corporate partners and even government grants.

Even if you don't need outside capital right now, you can use BizPlanBuilder to reinvent your company to run more efficiently.

If you have sales traction and are cash flow positive without institutional investment, then that's a solid testament to your business' value proposition to customers, so now you're looking for expansion funding instead of seed capital to test your idea. BizPlanBuilder is full of ideas for building your business without needing outside capital. BizPlanBuilder Business Plan Software Specifications

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 $150, it costs a lot less than a consultant.

Includes 50+ supporting documents for financing your start-up or expansion

While a great business plan is necessary, BizPlanBuilder also includes crucial business plan supporting documents for presenting your business plan and raising capital, plus $600+ worth of useful extras. For example:

• Sample letters inviting potential members to join your Board of Directors
• Prospective investor tracking worksheet
• Private Offering Disclaimer

I've used a lot of the free stuff (what did I expect?) and some of your competitors' products (some slick programming, but thin on actual content and useful advice). I want to tell anyone who might be worried about using the right software for this project that you guys have made the genuine effort and done it right. At the end of the day, the $100 invested in BizPlanBuilder will save a lot of work, assure you of a great plan, and prepare you mentally to face any investor or lender.
