Trying to open a new business is very time-consuming, and since I was running another business while I was trying to set up Tailored, I didn't have a lot of time.

Market Research
Know your market
Every insight in LivePlan’s market research comes with a named source you can cite pulled from 50+ verified sources and specific to your geography. Bank-grade industry benchmarks are sourced from a professional research firm. The moment a lender asks “where did you get this?” — you have an answer.
Plan builder & plan review
Know your plan is ready
Write a professional plan with AI grounded in your actual business, not generic filler. Then Plan Review reads it the way a lender would, catching where your narrative says one thing and your financials say another, before anyone else does.
Financial forecasting
Know your numbers add up
If a lender asks what happens to your cash when revenue comes in 20% below plan, LivePlan can answer that. Your income statement, cash flow, and balance sheet are all connected. Change one assumption and it flows through everything. That’s what a working financial model does and ChatGPT can’t do.
Pitch Deck Creator
Know you’re ready to present
LivePlan turns your plan into a polished pitch presentation built on investor-tested templates. All your data and financials automatically stay in sync and Plan Review surfaces the specific questions your plan is likely to face from funders — so nothing catches you off guard.
Plan vs. Actuals
Know you’re on track every month.
Connect your accounting software and compare real numbers against your plan every month. Know whether revenue is tracking, expenses are drifting, and whether you can actually afford to hire that next person. Real data. Clear answers. Smarter decisions.
