Finish your plan faster

The streamlined user interface in Business Plan Pro 11.0 is designed to help you finish your plan faster.

Easier, faster financials

A new user interface for working on financial tables makes it easy to switch between our popular Table Wizards and the spreadsheets that lie underneath. We integrated the Table Review into the process to help you complete your financials faster.

New customizable color charts

Our new chart editors makes it easy to produce beautiful 3D color charts that print with your plan. New controls for making the charts yours make it easy to create a custom plan that meets your specific needs.

New "keep it simple" option

Our new Plan Setup gets you started on your plan fast. Answer a few simple question and you're off. A new "keep it simple" outline option creates a plan that you can literally complete in hours. You can also complete a more detailed plan.

Support for plans in Spanish

Business Plan Pro 11.0 makes it easy to publish a plan in Spanish. The Plan Setup can change your financial tables and plan outline from English to Spanish and back again. Great for English-speaking users that want to publish a plan in Spanish.

Publish your way

We’ve built features into Business Plan Pro 11.0 that make it easier than ever to customize the way your plan prints. Unique color palettes for your charts, our new chart editor, and section level control over your headers and footers and printing options make it easy to fine-tune the print job to meet your needs.

New SecurePlan.com

The new SecurePlan.com makes it easy to publish a high-fidelity copy of your plan to the Internet to share with investors, partners, colleagues, family, whomever you choose. Now, a copy of your plan is also stored on SecurePlan.com for safe keeping. You control who sees your plan. A new feature lets your readers comment on your plan online.

New progress-tracking feature

The Tasks list guides you through your plan and it’s central to everything you do in Business Plan Pro. New progress-tracking feature makes it easy to see where you’re at and keeps you focused and on track.

Certified for Windows Vista

Business Plan Pro is certified for the latest Microsoft operating systems, including Windows Vista, XP, and 2000.

Improved Outline tool

The Outline represents everything that prints with your plan; topics, tables, and charts. The improved Outline tool makes it easier to customize your Outline to meet your specific needs. Add to your Outline, subtract from your outline, add back to your outline - it’s up to you.

Integrated Management Dashboard

New in Premier Edition - If you need a bird’s-eye view of your business, your plan, and your progress toward your goals, version 11.0's new integrated dashboard has the tools you need. Check your actual sales compared to your goals and ensure that spending is in line with your budget. Quickly manage your company goals and objectives and easily export everything to PowerPoint for an executive presentation.

What-if scenarios for cash flow

New in Premier Edition - What happens if your customers start paying you net-60 instead of net-30? How will keeping more inventory on hand impact your cash flow? Business Plan Pro’s Cash Pilot tool allows you to quickly run different scenarios and immediately see the impact on your cash flow so you can manage your business better.

Speed up your annual planning

New in Premier Edition - For the first time, Business Plan Pro now includes an easy way to update your business plan for a new year without losing your original data. The Archive and Roll Forward feature essentially makes a copy of your current plan, archives it for safekeeping, and then takes steps to prepare the existing plan for a new planning year. A good business plan is a current business plan!

Create business plan templates

New in Premier Edition - Customize the Business Plan Pro Premier outline, add custom financial tables, and insert standardized text, then save as a template to share with other Business Plan Pro users.

Ideal for franchisors, larger companies, and consultants, the Save as Template feature in Business Plan Pro Premier Edition allows you to customize and distribute a unique business plan template to your users. Once you have completed building your template, use the "save as template" feature and send it to the people who need to complete a plan in your custom format. When your users start Business Plan Pro, they will see your custom template as an option.
