Whether you're writing a formal business plan for investors or developing a meaningful forecast for your business, Biz Plan Builder incorporates a full set of business financial models. They are completely configured, fully integrated and tastefully formatted using Excel® workbooks. There's no need to be a spreadsheet or financial expert. We created "Assumptions" pages to make it easy for you to enter, update and experiment with your business model. All formulas have been developed and independently tested by qualified and practicing business consultants who hold valid CPA certifications. 

 Biz Plan Builder's financial models are straight-forward and show all of the math — Just enter your sales, expense, growth and other assumptions, and let Biz Plan Builder run the calculations. You can easily see "what-if" when you change scenarios. Easily produce investment-grade financial statements ready for angels, venture capitalists and any bank. We also integrated the following worksheets so you can engineer the best financing deal for your business:

• Sensitivity Analysis (We invented a unique 1-page "best/worse" case comparison worksheet)
• Business Valuation (3 common models + the average of all 3)
• Capitalization Table (Helps you plan stock allocation) 
• Investor "deal" analysis (How much will investors make; How much will you make?)

The "Use of Proceeds Summary" table suggests levels of investment required over 9/12/18/24 month periods — enabling you to prioritize your cash requirements to reach certain valuation milestones desired by most sophisticated investors. (When you understand this, you will realize why your deal will work and others won't!)

Easily customize your financial projections with the power of MSExcel

Another distinct advantage of Biz Plan Builder... the financial models are completely flexible enabling complete customization to any business model, plus they allow an unlimited number of links to and from external spreadsheets. (Not so with Business Plan Pro...) There is no need to export, no translation problems, data losses or formula incompatibilities. For example, if you change a figure in the " Assumptions: Financing" page, all of the affected worksheets and statements will automatically update as expected. income statement it will update the balance sheet and then the retained earnings statement.

Enable one spreadsheet cell to do the work of many

The ultimate add-on plug-in for Microsoft® Excel®...

Excel does not have this capability built-in...

How many times do you need to change or update a spreadsheet to show all the possibilities? ScenarioMaster is a revolutionary add-on tool for Microsoft Excel that makes multiple "what-if" scenario analysis simple and powerful. It's designed to help planners, forecasters and finance departments cope with the increasing complexities of their businesses. ScenarioMaster brings an exceptionally easy to use multiple-scenario analysis capability, in real time, to the realm of the average spreadsheet user.

The alternative is to build a lookup table for scenarios and use vLookup commands in cells, but ScenarioMaster makes it very simple.
ScenarioMaster easily installs with Excel (and adds itself to the menu bar).

Click on any spreadsheet cell and enter the possibilities...

Click on any cell, then pull-down under ScenarioMaster to 'Enter Values' into your selected cells. (Repeat for as many cells as you like...) You just need to add ScenarioMaster to the cells where you want to enter variations of your critical variables that drive your models.

All of the above possibilties can be included within one cell (in as many cells as you like)!
To run an analysis of different scenarios, pull-down and click on the scenario you want to see and your entire spreadsheet uses the data from its respectively-linked field. It's that easy!

What if...? Choose which scenario to run

Pull-down under ScenarioMaster to 'Select Scenario.'
ScenarioMaster will automatically calculate your spreadsheet based-upon the corresponding numbers/formulas specified in the ScenarioMaster cells (established above).
Let's say that you entered a set of numbers in the 'Most Likely' field...
When you choose the 'Most Likely' scenario, ScenarioMaster inserts all of your Most Likely numbers in the selected spreadsheet cells and displays the Most Likely scenario.
Choose the 'Best Case' scenario and ScenarioMaster inserts all of your Best Case numbers into the selected cells and displays your Best Case scenario.
It even works with Excel workbooks—you can be looking at any page when you choose a scenario. Scenariomaster uses the numbers from your selected scenario throughout your workbook to calculate your desired scenario.

Works with all of your Excel Spreadsheets

ScenarioMaster won't change your formulas, just the numbers that your formulas use to calculate your spreadsheets. Scenariomaster will be available to you for all of your Excel applications. (Anyone you send a spreadsheet to will need their own copy of ScenarioMaster so they can benefit from the same multiple-scenario capabilties that you enjoy.) The time it saves for everyone involved will be more than worth your investment. No more multiple spreadsheets to explain — it's actually very easy to set up and use!

Scenario Master adds to Excel the capability to:

1. Enter multiple scenarios into a single Excel cell (either as numbers or formulas)
2. Easily input and edit large numbers (e.g. 75K, 2.5M or 3B) to reduce input errors,
3. Pick appropriate scenarios to answer different questions—in real time
4. Easily add scenarios to existing spreadsheets without changing the structure of the spreadsheet
5. Pick appropriate scenarios to answer different questions
6. Compare and contrast different scenarios for sensitivity analysis.
7. Create your own custom scenarios

No new software to learn — Just load and go

There are no tricky computer programs or applications to learn.
Scenario Master installs itself on your computer, and it's just point and click from there...

60-Day “Get-the-Job-Done” Money-Back Guarantee

Put the necessary structure into your business that you need to increase profits, improve efficiency, and enable you to grow. If ScenarioMaster doesn't help you build your business, we will buy it back from you — JIAN is here to help you succeed.

Make Excel do more within a single cell.
Make more sense of your projections, and do it with just one spreadsheet.
