Kickstart your journey with a business plan template and a detailed outline

The Business Plan Shop guides you with a business plan outline containing what lenders expect to see

Whether you're a CEO who's up to their eyes or a new entrepreneur trying to break into the market, writing a detailed business plan and knowing exactly what information to include is a challenge.

So why not save time by trading in Word with our business plan writing tool? With a professional business plan tool, create a polished business plan outline within minutes.

Our outline includes sections that are vital for every business plan, like market research and the initial financing plan. Drill down on the points most relevant to investors and focus on setting out the vision for your business without worrying that you’ve left out key information.

Suitable for basic and complex business models, our software gives you the flexibility to add or remove sections to build a business plan that stays true to your business’ unique structure and spirit.

Use clever short-cuts to make writing your business plan easier than with Word

Avoid errors and use your time efficiently with The Business Plan Shop’s online business writing tool

Our smart-tags ensure your business plan's text stays up to date whenever your financial forecast changes.

Simply click the smart tag button, pick a financial metric (whether it be year 1 revenues or your gross profit margin for year 2) and add the tag straight into the text of your business plan.

Each time you generate your business plan's document, our software automatically injects the latest value of the metric in your text, ensuring it stays accurate and error free.

Smart tags are just one of the many ways The Business Plan Shop enable you to write your financial plan much faster than Word.

Make your plan stand out from the crowd with our vibrant visuals

That’s where our business plan writing tool comes in. With gorgeous cover pages and custom-designed themes, select from a range of different formats, vibrant tones and include your business’ logo to add originality and make your plan stand out from the outset.

Break up long paragraphs of the text with our inbuilt, colourful charts and tables, making it an enjoyable read start-to-finish.

Our software integrates your financial forecast into pre-formatted tables and charts to break the figures down in a digestible way.

Once you're happy with the look of your plan, easily export it in PDF or Word format to share with lenders or investors.
