Portfolio - Business Plan Writer
A desktop application to help users create full 1-year business plans
This tool was created during 2006-07 while our main developer was still a member of a partnership called The Tool Factory. It was developed for social entrepreneurs and marketed to them through the partnership (more than 1,000 copies sold over two years). Since The Tool Factory closed in December 2009 Business Plan Writer has continued to be available from Business Plan Insight (another trading arm of Social Enterprise Outcomes Ltd).
Business Plan Writer has been designed to help entrepreneurs (start-up, small business and social enterprise) with writing their business plans. With an easy-to-use navigation system and extensive help guides the software guides you through every stage of how to write your business plan.
The financial tools make putting the money side of the plan straightforward and the sample business plans give examples of what others have written. The software is suitable to be used by beginners and those with experience of writing business plans. It is available in two versions:
Small Business and Social
Enterprise.
Work is underway (January 2011) to create a multi-year version which would allow users to write business plans with financial projections covering more than one year - expected release date for this version is mid-February 2011.
