Interactive Business Planner

Welcome to the Interactive Business Planner (IBP)

The IBP is the first business planning software product designed specifically to operate on the World Wide Web. The IBP uses the capabilities of the Internet to assist entrepreneurs in preparing a 3 year business plan for their new or existing business.

With the IBP, you will:

• be guided through each section of your business plan using a question and answer format;
• learn definitions and tips, and view sample business plans to help you to write your own plan;
• have financial projections prepared for you, based upon the information you provide; and
• use the power of the Internet to assist you in researching your business plan.

The IBP is not intended to replace legal, accounting or other professional services or advice. You may want to consult a professional business counsellor or seek out accounting advice before completing your business plan. The Canada Business Network can provide you with a list of resources to help you fulfill your financial and business planning requirements. Please contact the Canada Business location nearest you.
