Present your plan with confidence

Calculating the value of your business is vital if you are trying to find investors, apply for a loan, or sell your business to a potential buyer. Business Plan Pro Premier includes detailed valuation tools that can help you determine a solid business valuation and create a professional investment offering.

Showcase the true value of your business with more advanced spreadsheets that describe the sources and uses of cash for any new or existing business. Make sure you maximize the full value of your business by using this option, which is only available in the Premier Edition.

Manage your cash flow

Want to see exactly where your cash is going? The Premier Edition includes a visual cash flow chart called the Cash Pilot™. The Cash Pilot gives you a visual representation of how accounts payable, accounts receivable, and inventory are affecting cash flow.

The dynamic capabilities of the Cash Pilot allow you to adjust these amounts on the fly to easily see how your cash flow is affected by changes in your plan. Find out how small changes in collecting payments or ordering inventory can have a big impact on your overall cash flow. Easily visualize your cash needs with this advanced feature, available only in the Premier Edition.

Completely customizable

For advanced users who would like to integrate existing spreadhseet data or create additional tables for more detailed scenarios, the Premier Edition gives you powerful customization tools. You can insert a new user table or import current work done in Excel - there are many options available that allow for customization of your business plan.

Manage your business better

Are you on track with your initial goals? Import QuickBooks data directly into your business plan so that you can compare what you have planned against your real-world numbers. Use the management dashboard to track variances in an easy way so you can make adjustments to your business that keep you and your team focused on the long-term goals.

Create your own plan templates

The Premier Edition's ability to create custom templates is perfect for planning consultants, franchise owners, and any business looking to create a custom outline for a business plan. A template can be used to create future plans with customized topics and tables. You can export templates to share with other Business Plan Pro users, or import templates sent by other users.

Extend your plan beyond year 1

Business planning should not be a one-time activity. The best plans stay alive throughout the implementation cycle and are updated to reflect actual performance and changing conditions. Business Plan Pro is designed to support the multi-year planning and implementation process with easy year-end archiving and roll-forward features.

And all the basics, too

In addition to all the extended features, the Premier Edition contains all the capabilities and benefits of the Standard Edition, including over 500 customizable sample business plans, step-by-step instructions, flexible plan outlines, SBA-approved document formats, and more.
