Business Plan Writer

Existing customers of Business Plan Writer get free updates - see our Free Updates page for more information. This is what they have to do ...

First of all, make sure your work in your current copy of Business Plan Writer is safe - if you have version 1.2 then you can use the backup function to make a copy of your work. If you have an earlier version you will need to manually copy Business Plan Writer's database to a safe location.

Now that you know your data is safe you should navigate to www.businessplanwriter.co.uk
Scroll down to the bottom-left, find the 'User login' area and log in with the username and password you gave us when you bought your copy of Business Plan Writer. If you can't remember your password then click the 'Request new password' link.

Note: if you are returning to the website within 1 month of your last visit your browser may remember your login details for you and pre-populate the Username and Password boxes.
When you have logged in stay towards the bottom-left of the screen, look for the 'My Account' menu item (highlighted) and click it

Once in your 'My Account' page click on the 'Files' or 'File Downloads' links (highlighted) to access the updated version of Business Plan Writer

Decide if you are going to download a .exe or a .zip version of the installer and click it's name (highlighted)

If you are presented with a warning, give permission for the installer to be downloaded to your computer

Once downloaded, run the file and install Business Plan Writer (this will need Administrator privilidges as usual) - it will detect your previous version and SHOULD save your previous data automatically.

Note: if something has gone wrong and you do not see your previous data you will be very glad you made a backup in Step 1!

1. That's it!
