A solution for Mac.

We have been using Apple Macintosh products since 1988. Being in the industrial marketplace for 20 years has required extensive use of a PC as well; as the industries in which we worked dictated the use of PCs. It's all good. We are happy to be experienced with multiple operating systems, software and applications.

For the past 5 years, however, we have been using the Mac exclusively, and although the world is becoming increasingly Mac friendly, we continue to find that basic staples, like a business plan solution, are very difficult to source. Being business planners and consultants, we have the necessary tools to build a business plan. We decided to compile a business plan solution that Mac users could use with ease. 

ION FreshStart requires iWork 2 or later, and uses Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You also need a PDF reader. You can use Preview, or download Adobe Reader for free.

What about PC?

We used to offer a PC version of our business plan solution, but it it was holding us back. iWork allowed us to add new features faster and create new solutions with far greater efficiency. We're Mac people, so we decided to focus totally on the Mac, and that's why we've dropped the Office / PC version.

We will continue to support our existing clients who have downloaded ION FS 1.X, but 2.0+ will only feature iWork-compatible solutions.

Our Advanced Business Planning solution is now exclusive to Mac using Apple iWork.
