:: Company
  • Business Functions Limited is a software development and consulting company focused on the needs of financial planners and analysts.
  • John and his small staff are 100% dedicated to developing Business Functions and providing model building and consulting services to clients. The two activities work hand in hand to develop both good software and good modelling practise.
  • The products, as you can see, are aimed at providing sets of tools to help the financial modeller do more.
  • All our products were born out of real need: the broad concept behind the main product, Business Functions, has been in use nigh on 15 years. But we are constantly using at new ways to leverage our experise both in Excel and of course our library - new research initiatives include getting VBA and BF to work more closely together, publishing the modelling techniques we have encountered, porting BF to other platforms and increasing useability.
  • BF's strength is that it is mostly written in the high performance language C++, and it also introduces a new way of generating financial projections based on the use of functions.
  • Our key industry areas of expertise are in large capital projects, in particular real estate and natural resources, but we also have experience in product sales and financial environents too.
