Exl-Plan is
a range of business planning software for preparing comprehensive financial
projections including cash flow forecasts for up to seven years ahead.
You can use Exl-Plan for a business plan, strategic and corporate planning,
raising finance, budgeting, restructuring and financial appraisals within
almost any size and type of business. It runs as a powerful, easy-to-use
template with Excel (5,
7, 8, 95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 365) using Windows (95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win7,8,10).
Important Note: Exl-Plan requires a Windows-based, desktop version
of Excel. It will not run, on account of its extensive
use of macros, with any cloud-based versions of Excel (or other
similar spreadsheet types). If using Office 365 or Office 16, Excel must be installed on a Windows PC.
Exl-Plan includes a 150-page Business
Plan Guide and
Word-based Template.

planner from the ground up.

As Exl-Plan incorporates extensive formulae and preprogrammed menus &
buttons (over 200 items), you only need a very basic knowledge of
Excel
to prepare highly professional and presentable projections. If you are
an advanced Excel user, you can utilize your expertise to enhance and
expand Exl-Plan to meet particular needs. You can see the scope of Exl-Plan
by downloading trial copies of all versions/editions.
Exl-Plan incorporates comprehensive facilities and features. This makes
it suitable for managers and business people with minimal previous
experience of financial or business planning as well as
for experienced planners, accountants, consultants and model-builders.
Exl-Plan
is rich with help and support (click thumb opposite

help (130+ topics) along with a 90-page manual (Word or PDF format) and
a series of Flash-based tutorials (running for 19 minutes) covering setting
up Excel, getting started, the basics and using Quik-Plan. Optional printed

Exl-Plan can offer you many significant benefits and advantages including:
It saves substantial time and money. With Exl-Plan, you only
need to familiarize yourself with its range of variable and reports before you
start entering assumptions and planning.
Exl-Plan is well-tested, robust, powerful and
expandable. It is also clearly documented and supported.
Exl-Plan is error-free and incorporates extensive
error trapping to help prevent users introducing errors
when using Exl-Plan. For
examples of errors that can arise in spreadsheets, have a look at
this listing of spreadsheet
mistakes.
You don't have to be a financial whizz-kid or spreadsheet
rocket scientist to make detailed projections and to explore complex
scenarios with Exl-Plan.
Building and testing a comparable model to Exl-Plan could require
hundreds (thousands?) of hours of spreadsheet programming, worksheet formatting
and formulae entry. In contrast, you can be up-and-running with Exl-Plan in
less than a hour.
If you already have a spreadsheet or financial background, you can
use this expertise to expand and tailor Exl-Plan to handle special
factors or to get into greater detail.
Most
importantly, Exl-Plan serves as a tool which allows you to concentrate
on the task of planning rather than programming. It frees you from
having to write hundreds of formulae and routines and allows you to
spend more time to researching assumptions and evaluating the resultant
projections. Used effectively, Exl-Plan can help you to improve plans
and performance.
At the very minimum, it will help you to avoid costly mistakes which
could arise in the absence of clear plans. Click thumb to see sample

tool

business.
