Free Business Planning Apps are now available.

Free business planning tablet apps now available on Android and iPad

Australian business owners can develop business, marketing and emergency plans using a suite of free tablet apps developed by the team at business.gov.au (operated by the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education).

Following the success of the business planning iPad apps launched in September last year – they’ve been downloaded over 22,000 times since launched – the free apps are now available for Android tablet users.

The apps, MyBizPlanMarketMyBiz and MyBizShield, are based on business.gov.au’s popular business planning templates and guides which have been downloaded more than one million times.

The planning process is one of the most valuable activities a business owner can undertake. Good plans provide a roadmap for success, provide a sense of control over the future and are essential to attract funding. However, many businesses find the planning process daunting and are unsure of where to start. These apps were developed with the help of business experts and provide templates and handy prompts to guide businesses through the process.

To download the free planning apps, or for further information, visit www.business.gov.au/businessapps.

Two YouTube videos have also been developed to help raise awareness of the importance of business planning.

Any queries regarding these business tools should be directed to the Commonwealth Government’s Small Business Support Line (SBSL) on 1800 777 275.
