BUSINESS BY NUMBERS

The world’s first fully online business planning tool is surpassing all expectations and is a runaway success. Launched just a couple of months ago, the unique ‘cloud based’ www.businessbynumbers.co.uk has proved to be a huge hit with entrepreneurs and SME’s. Being the world’s first virtual business planning tool means that anyone who has access to the internet can use it with no downloads. It will instantly update any fiscal changes such as VAT and Tax. It’s also the greenest package available as there’s no need to travel to meetings – you can discuss your business requirements over the phone with your bank or accountant while you both look at the same figures being updated over the net. The result is that the user spends less time travelling to and attending meetings and has more time to devote to starting their business.

This newest planning tool has a unique philosophy in that it not only prepares a professional business plan in bank and accountant approved format, but also gives a genuine grounding in the way that the numbers have been arrived at. This ensures that entrepreneurs have a rock solid understanding of the financial base of their venture and also know, on a monthly basis, what they need to achieve to make their business a resounding success.

As historical accounting information can be added, it’s designed not only for new starts, but as a tool to be used in day to day management. It’s also ideal for SME’s who need to secure funding, especially in today’s climate when only professionally produced and justifiable projections will do. Easy to use, producing stunningly professional documents, all the advantages of being online, free tutorials with full online support available, its little wonder that www.businessbynumbers.co.uk is a hit, especially as it’s completely free for the first 24 hours.
