BizPlanBuilder also offers a better
collection of financial tables, ratios,

~ Mike Hogan, PC World Magazine

BizPlanBuilder also doubles as your secret weapon distancing you from others competing for the same resources.
The hardest working document in business — And it’s easy to update and use over and over again
Here’s the easiest-to-use researching, thinking, planning, modeling & presentation system for…
- a Start-Up – Your blueprint and reality check for getting started the right way, minimize mistakes,
and “bootstrap” growth. Perfect for covering all the bases and coordinating your team.
- Raising Capital – Builds credibility and believability with a proven “catalog of answers” for Investors.
Shaves months off the time it takes to get the money you need.
- Non-Profit – Demonstrates to donors that you will maximize their “Return on Impact”
- Growing – Your roadmap for repeatable, scalable processes for organization, building teams,
and leading your people. Control the chaos before it starts and continue growing smoothly.
- Onboarding – What faster way is there to get new team members engaged and up-to-speed in your business?
- Struggling?!? – This sucks, but we’ve been there back when and our business plan pulled us out of the ditch!
This deal is easily within your reach and just may save your bacon.
- Marketing – It’s your foundation upon which you can base and coordinate all of your marketing.
The problem(s) you solve, customer demographics, competitive advantages…
- Deal with a Big Corp – Your sophisticated, winning proposal to management.
Builds credibility and proves you can deliver on a big deal.
(Business Power Tools started with a business plan for a friend to land a deal with Apple.
That evolved into our BizPlanBuilder and everything else.)
- Ongoing Strategic Planning – It’s good to regularly revisit your “first principles:”
What’s changed? What do you want to change? Engages your team in a guided,
collab process that motivates them and makes it work.
- Licensing – Your alternative to building a company is licensing your product / intellectual property to an
established company with the resources, distribution, and sales force. Paint a promising picture, collect money.
- Sale – Builds your case for a profitable future upside and validates valuation.
Add the processes and systems that make it attractive to sell faster at a higher price.
- Succession – Everything your kids / new owners need to successfully continue what you started.
If you carry-back some of the financing, this is especially critical for you.
- All-of-the-Above – BizPlanBuilder is your growing, progressive catalog of everything about your business.

It’s your “brochure” to distinguish your deal amongst investors,
partners, licensees, and ultimately acquirers.

BizPlanBuilder has been repeatedly vetted with Banks, SBA lenders,
Angel investors, and Venture Capitalists Worldwide with

Way More Robust and Flexible than LivePlan
“I have used BizPlanBuilder and it has an incredible amount of information, templates, spreadsheets, sample content, and tools in it. It is a very robust system (way more robust and flexible than LivePlan, if you ask me)! Burke has decades of experience with business financing and business planning software. I have also used Burke as a guest speaker to talk about pitch development and pitching angel investors, etc., as part of the ScaleUp program. Burke is a great resource for us to have available to us! ”
~ Liz Jamieson | Certified Business Advisor, Washington SBDC at Washington State University

Add a million+ $$$ to your valuation?
- What if you could make a better case to improve your pre-money valuation by a $1,000,000+?
- How much more of your company would you keep?
- What would it be worth it to produce a better plan?
Much of your appeal is won or lost
in your meetings after your pitch
Investors are real people, many are very disciplined, and most are skeptical.
They fear losing their money more than striking it rich. They’ll have a lot of questions!
They’ll contact their advisors and friends, and
they’ll come back to you with more questions.
They’re looking at other opportunities too.
You’ve got to be more convincing and their best bet for succeeding.
We know this. We’ve lived through it.
And we developed BizPlanBuilder to deal with it.
All of it.
We’ve also used it ourselves with Angels and VCs,
an SBA loan, Lines of Credit, Vendor Financing,
an Acquisition, even with Mom!
SCORE Counselors Recommend BizPlanBuilder

~ Terry Little
“So much of company building I realized was about having a strong foundation.
I saw countless “hot” startups rise fast and then fail hard because they didn’t take time to build the right team,
the right foundation, and the right operating system to run a company.”
~ Taweed Kadar, Founder & CEO, ToutApp
