Thorough Financial Modeling.
Plan Write walks you through a series of questions that form the basis of the financial plan. Revenue, expense and a variety of other financial assumptions (e.g. receivables, payables and inventory turnover rates, cash and loan assumptions, etc.) are used to automatically generate a complete and consistent Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement. The model includes monthly data in Year 1, quarterly in Year 2 and annual data in subsequent years. Enter your financial projections numerically, import them from QuickBooks or perform visual projections by moving points on a chart. Plan Write also provides a break-even analysis and a complete ratio analysis to help identify potential profitability, liquidity, insolvency or other business problems. Give your business plan a reality check by comparing financial statements and ratios with averages from other firms operating in the same industry.

Charts or spreadsheets can easily be inserted anywhere in the plan. Plan Write generates a complete, professional plan including text, charts and financial statements. The plan can be generated in Microsoft Word or published to the Internet. Create a customized PowerPoint® presentation with any selected topics, charts and tables from your business plan.
