Instant Solutions for Operationally Critical Business Growth Projects
Way back… When software sold in boxes, we created these tools to fast-track critical business-building projects.
If you’ve used them before, you’ll be thrilled with how they’ve evolved Into an online system that blows away everything else!
Why spend $1,000 – $10,000 (or $100 – $500 / hr) paying someone else…
When you can easily build, modify, and collaborate on your ideas and projects with your team and advisors? Quickly. Easily. Better.
Now all of the above business-building systems are updated and integrated into an intuitive dashboard, arranged by function, easily shared securely online with your team, and kept organized for the life and sale of your business.
Watch this brief demo video to see everything you can accomplish and how easy it is to use.
All of our tools are easier to use than Office and easily accessible via our visual document management dashboard.
If You Don’t Already Have One, Start Here With a Practical Growth Plan:
a “Playbook” or “Roadmap” for Building and Running Your Business.
We’ve reinvented business planning into an organized catalog of ideas, observations, research, market analysis, strategies & tactics, competitive comparisons, SWOT, your team… and how everything works together to build a successful business.
Everything you need to stay on top of as well as everything investors and a buyer wants to know.
And it’s easy enough to create while staying focused on your day-to-day.
The best time to create a business plan was when you started your business.
The next best time is now.
A business plan is your hardest working document for organizing, coordinating,
and prioritizing everything going on in your business.
We’ve re-imagined BizPlanBuilder as a cross between a strategic plan and a selling “brochure.”
A catalog of everything a buyer would want to know, with a believable financial
proforma building on your history and projecting into the future.
The more you prepare, the better you can Improvise and negotiate
Here’s a massive head-start for producing a professional business “plan” that serves multiple purposes.
Its secret sauce is the written-for-you text with embedded expert comments
leading you through exactly what to say and how to say it.
Your plan also serves as a comprehensive onboarding document enabling
new team members to get-up-to-speed and fully engaged quickly.
BizPlanBuilder enables ongoing changes, so it’s easy to improve your plan as needed.
Its organized system of pre-scripted…
- 100% Customizable Sample Business Plan Narrative
- 100% Flexible Excel-based Financial Models and
- 100% Flexible PowerPoint Pitch Deck Template…
You can access anytime from anywhere, facilitating secure collaboration with your team and
advisors even share it online with prospective investors and lenders (like a “Secure Data Room”).
Your roadmap for growth / Raising capital / Partnerships / Staging for exit
Don’t yet have a business plan? Here’s your shortcut to step through your business from top to bottom.
Without a comprehensive plan, you can end up re-thinking what you figured out last year.
People come and go, it’s easy to forget what you decided and why,
update your plan and move on from asking the same questions all over again.
How your journey evolved from solving problems, your “story,” and solutions,
to ongoing needs of core customers.
It’s all securely accessed and easily maintained in an intuitive dashboard that’s always in your control.
To keep the knowledge amassed, manageable, and accessible, it’s crucial to have an organizational strategy.
Having a let-it-flow approach might work for an unplanned getaway, but if you have to
achieve certain goals with limited resources, don’t leave things to chance.
Otherwise, you’ll have tons of orphan documents that no one can reference because they’re impossible to find.
And if that’s not enough reasons…
- It’s your detailed blueprint for projecting future growth
- It makes it easy on yourself to attract the right money at the right time
- You need to demonstrate believability and credibility with investors and lenders
“This program is so complete it’s scary. It makes you think about what you’re doing in ways you never thought of before.”
~ Dean Goldman, Goldstone Music, Spring Valley, NY
“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
For Overwhelmed Business Owners, CFOs, and COOs to Reassess and Reconsider Your Operation While You Keep Building and Running It
Not having a strategic operational growth plan could be what’s holding you back.
Is it all In your head?
Do your people know how to help?
- What if you gathered input from all of your people.
- Perhaps review and refine exactly who your customers are.
- With certain changes and “pivots,” how much more profitable could you be?
- Wouldn’t it be worth it to produce a better plan?
Does it make your business better…
The British Olympic Rowing team had a mantra: “Does it make the boat go faster?”
All ideas are welcome, and accepted or rejected based upon the answer to, “Does it make the boat go faster?”
No shame in offering, your not crazy, all ideas are good as long as, “It makes your business better!”
Need funding?
Investors are real people, most are very disciplined, and many 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.
And we’ve used it ourselves with angels and VCs, an SBA loan, several big corporations, a line of credit, vendor credits, and with Mom!

“Burke and I have been acquainted for a number of years, and I’ve used and recommended his software solutions for business owners even longer. Let’s face it, writing a business plan is not at the top of the list of what most of us like to do. It’s a daunting task, and a tedious undertaking. Business Power Tools changes all that. You’ll find yourself creating a new plan or updating existing plans in record time, and you’ll feel confident in the quality like never before. I’d urge you to check it out. I think you’ll be truly surprised.”
~ John Kiser from Money Mentor (an MMOT, LLC enterprise)
