Extravagant claims? Well, we believe that using a purpose-built function in a cell is more transparent, reliable, flexible and accurate than an overly long Excel formula, because a function comes with documentation about what it is trying to do, when a formula doesn't.

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

With BF up to 500 or so functions in C++ do the dirty work of projecting costs and revenues, coping with time periods, growth etc.

You can download Business Functions version 1.48 here.

As a BF user you also have access to loads of spreadsheet templates, all built with Business Functions.

We also have two free utilities:

  • SelectFunction - the fastest way to access Excels own functions, with context-sensitive help!
  • NumberFormats - 2 click access to professional looking number formats.

Business Functions is in use by large companies, business advisors, and consultants because it saves time - time in development, time in maintenance, and calculation time.

UK Tax Calcs Looming!
Is your stocks and shares capital gains calculation under control? Well, it's pretty hard to work it out, what with the last in/first out (LIFO) method that you are supposed to use. Try our CGT spreadsheet with BF's LIFOCalc function. It takes all your share purchase and sale data and divides them into individual acquistions and disposals using a LIFO basis. It's very hard to do this manually, but this function does all the hard work for you!

Fully Excel 2007 Compatible!
Business Functions is now fully Excel 2007 compatible, and has its own brand new ribbon menu. Just install the latest version as normal.
