The B-Plan Cruiser™ will analyze any business
and prepare a business plan.
The B-Plan Cruiser™ is an integration of two systems
working together to help manage a business. Except
for entering your information on the various
business plan pages, you only complete one Master
Data Entry worksheet to create an analysis that will
contribute its parts to the business plan.
The B-Plan Cruiser™ is divided into two sections:
1) The Business Analysis Section
2) The Business Plan Creator Section
The Business Analysis Section:
The Cruiser will quickly analyze the overall health
status of any business. It will contribute its
financial sheets to the business plan.
The Business Plan Creator Section:
Too often business plans are created and find their
way to a shelf and never consulted again. The
Cruiser is designed to be an ongoing management
tool. The Cruiser will create for you a world class
business plan suitable for any size business,
whether startup or ongoing.
The good news is that after setting up the Cruiser
the first time, updating is all that is required to
make it a real-time, ongoing tool for decision
making.
Features:
 Full open architecture allows
you to customize to suit your needs.

Additional™
Examples |
Financial Ratios
This worksheet will help both you and any
potential outside investor compare your business's
performance from one year to the next (for example,
has gross profit grown or declined between years one
and five?) and against other similar businesses (for
example, does your business give as good a return on
investment as others?).
The ratios can also be used as an aid in making
future financial projections. For example, if you
believe that it is prudent to hold the equivalent of
a month's sales in inventory, once you have made the
sales forecast for future years, the projections for
inventory in the balance sheet follow logically. |

Optimal Performance
Analysis
Several numbers on this page may appear illogical
since maximum percentages were used in Sales and
minimum percentages were used in Expenses.
Its sole purpose is to show how, if everything comes
together, the results of maximum efficiency already
performed in other time periods. |
|
|
Market
Value Analysis
There is no single best method for determining a
business's worth since each business sale is unique.
The wisest approach is to compute a company’s value
using several techniques and then choose the one
that makes the most sense.
There are three techniques and several variations
for determining the value of a business:
1) The balance sheet technique.
2) The earnings approach.
3) The market (or price/earnings) approach . |
 |
|
|
|
 |
Break-Even Analysis
The Break-Even point can be easily computed by
dividing Fixed Expenses by Fixed Expenses plus
Profit: FE/(FE+P).
You will note that the date of Break-Even has also
been computed by multiplying 365 times the
Break-Even percentage. In the BE Chart, placing your
pointer on the bisection of Sales and Expenses will
also indicate the month and approximate date. |

the overall health of a business.

Goods Sold, Gross Profit, Total expenses, Operating

The Budget Scenario
Analysis
This analysis helps managers evaluate the impact of
different business scenarios on key budget drivers
that generate revenue. You can use them to enter
data about the best-case, average-case, and
worst-case scenarios on annual revenue. Find out
whether the revenue assumptions associated with your
annual budget are reasonable or whether mitigating
strategies should be implemented to limit risks
associated with the worst-case scenario.
Use this analysis as part of your annual budgeting
cycle after you've completed the initial draft of
your budget. |
|
|
Headcount Analysis
The Headcount and Payroll Planning worksheet set is
designed to help finance, human resources, and
compensation teams forecast and plan annual
headcount and total compensation. This set of
worksheets helps you forecast compensation expense
based on the predicted number of staff each quarter
within each department. It also accounts for key
expenses such as fringe benefits and variable pay. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
Product Profitability
Analysis
This analysis helps finance, product
management, and operations teams assess the overall
profitability of specific products quarterly and
annually. By conducting a product profitability
analysis, your company can understand the direct and
indirect costs associated with developing and
offering a specific product and assess a product's
contribution to the bottom line. |
|
|
Marketing Budget Plan
The Marketing Budget Plan worksheet lays out a list
of possible expenditures for you to consider when
creating your marketing budget. You can use all the
categories in the template, or only a few, or you
can add categories of your own.
This worksheet makes it easy for you to create a
budget plan, because formulas and other worksheet
features are already set up for you. When you enter
or change quantities and prices, the totals are
automatically adjusted. |
