SquarePlan targets ‘always dreamed of it’ Brits who don’t know where to start with their business idea LONDON, UK. January 7th, 2026 – As the January blues set in and one in three UK workers consider making a career change this year, a new business plan software has launched specifically for aspiring entrepreneurs who have always dreamed of starting their own business but never knew where to begin.
SquarePlan, the UK’s first business planning software built specifically for British entrepreneurs, addresses the paralysis many would-be business owners face: they have the idea and the ambition, but lack the knowledge to create the professional financial plans needed to secure funding or simply get started with confidence.
January has long been associated with new year resolutions and career reflection, with research showing that one in three UK workers are planning to change jobs by 2026. However, many harbour ambitions beyond traditional employment – they dream of being their own boss but feel overwhelmed by the question: “Where do I even start?”
“After years of working with UK startups as a Chartered Accountant, I kept seeing the same pattern,” said Clive Unitt FCA, founder of SquarePlan. “People have brilliant business ideas but don’t have large budgets for bespoke business plans and really struggle to know where to begin. They don’t realise that a business plan isn’t just their idea written down – its backbone is solid financial data that inspires confidence, both in yourself and in lenders or investors.”
The platform was designed specifically to guide users who feel stuck. Unlike generic templates that assume business knowledge, SquarePlan uses a question-based approach to walk users through every step of the planning process, from initial concept to professional financial forecasts.
Built for the UK market, SquarePlan includes UK-specific tax calculations for VAT, Corporation Tax, and National Insurance – addressing a long-standing frustration where British entrepreneurs have been forced to adapt US-focused planning tools with incorrect structures and terminology.
“We built this for the person who’s been saying ‘one day I’ll start that business’ for years,” added Clive Unitt. “The January blues are the perfect time to stop dreaming and start planning. Our software guides you through the process step by step, ensuring you don’t miss the critical financial elements that give your idea a real foundation.”
Priced at £39.99 per month with no long-term commitment, the business plan software is available from the SquarePlan website and removes the traditional barrier of £1,000+ professional business plan writing fees, making serious business planning accessible to anyone ready to take their first step toward entrepreneurship.
With almost one in ten UK employees planning to hand in their notice this January and more than a quarter of workers intending to start their own business in 2026, the ‘January blues’ represent more than just post-holiday malaise – for many, it’s the catalyst to finally pursue the business idea they’ve been postponing for years.
