SOHO's Business Planner was developed by a team of professional business managers with the aim of providing an easy to use planning tool for all sizes and types of business operations.

Business Planner is a stand alone program product that utilises the powerful features of Microsoft's Windows Ž. Business Planner does not need any other software to run because it contains its own powerful word processor, spreadsheet and graphical facilities. However, it is able to accept information from other word processors, spreadsheets and graphical software products as well as giving you the ability to export data to other word processors, spreadsheets, and publishing software products.

All plans produced by Business Planner can be stored at any time, retrieved at any time and printed at any time during their construction. This flexibility supports the iterative process of planning and also provides for the retrieval of previous plans or different versions of plans at any time.

Business Planner also allows the user to have more than one plan open at any time.

Business Planner is part of SOHO's family of business software, designed and priced initially for the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) business market, but built with sufficient incorporation of accepted marketing planning techniques to be used by marketing and sales professionals.
