Business Functions Basic Edition description
A function library for Microsoft Excel for Business Plans and Financial Analysis

Business Functions is a free function library for Microsoft Excel that is designed in order to make business plans, budgets, structured financings and cashflows.

This Excel add-on provides 102 functions for financial modeling, business planning and financial projections.

There are categories for date and time arithmetic, and discounted cashflow analysis. The system comes with a function selector, a help file, a quick reference, examples and a trace facility for finding errors in function inputs.

Business Functions is based on the principle that using a purpose-built function in a cell is more transparent, reliable, flexible and accurate than an overly long Excel formula.

This principle has been extended to a comprehensive projections functions that project cashflows and accruals with a high degree of daycount accuracy.

Up to 500 or so functions in C++ do the dirty work of projecting costs and revenues, coping with time periods, growth etc. As a BF user you also have access to the templates, all built with Business Functions.
