Business plan template makes it easy to edit & present your plan

The Macintosh version of Biz Plan Builder 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 best of hundreds of plans built-in!
Over the years, we've taken the best of hundreds of business planning components and incorporated them into a few great prototype documents you can use to easily write your business plan. If your business is even slightly different from vanilla, you'll find that this method is far more robust than deconstructing and rebuilding a limited so-called industry-specific cookie-cutter business plan template. (Read the Reviews.) We've already done the work for you, plus we have been working with entrepreneurs, consultants and investors for 20+ years.

The financial models in Biz Plan Builder for Macintosh use Excel workbooks (they work 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, they're very comprehensive, straight-forward and credible.

"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.

Expert comments throughout provide step-by-step direction

The next best thing to having us do the work for you is to have an expert sitting next to you as you develop your business plan. Throughout every section, you will find expert advice, comments and suggestions explaining what to do and why. It's a little irreverent, but you need to understand it like it is. (Only you will see them—they don't print.)

20 years studying what investors & lenders actually finance
Our customers report having raised over $2 billion through venture capitalists, investors, banks, the SBA and corporate management. While many investors will tell you they want just a 2-3 page plan (use the Executive Summary), it will actually take a lot more than that to attract a real investment. Given our unique experience, we help you anticipate investors' and lenders' questions

The Biz Plan Builder was a life saver in dealing with SBA loans and investors.
You have to be so perfect & the Biz Plan Builder allowed me to do so. Thanks.
- Shirley Duncan, Duncan Enterprises, Wheeling, IL

What if I'm freaked-out about financials?
Not surprisingly, it seems that many people are. Especially if you are right-brain dominant, an artist, idea person, a big picture thinker who sometimes gets tripped up by details. And by "business." That was Burke's problem way back when, and he developed the original financials so they made sense to him. Being a marketing guy, he also wanted them to act like a 'brochure' — explaining, selling, demonstrating to the financial types what was going on financially in the business and convincing them (himself first) that the business made sense.  More about business plan financial models...

“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 BizPlanBuilder financial models.”
- Geir Ilstad, Principal, Prudent Management, Los Altos, CA

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.
