Creating a business plan with LivePlan has actually been fun. It's like training wheels on a bike. The financials really opened up my entire business-think, as I am more the visionary type. I recommend LivePlan, especially for busy entrepreneurs who don't or won't figure out the business plan process for themselves! Enjoy building your business's plan :)

LivePlan is use-friendly and helpful for me, who had put off writing the business plan because I dreaded the research and didn't really know what I was doing. But, using this template made it much more manageable. the graphs and tables are awesome, as well. Because of you, I now have a comprehensive, professional-looking business plan. Support was also very helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable.

Overall experience with LivePlan is awesome. Very informative and easy to read. Plans also come with templates and other examples you can use to get a sense for how to build you plan. Additionally if you have partners or a team up to five can also build and edit the plan. You can also leave comments about edits. If you have an advisors working with you you can add them as a guest and they can also give you feedback. I like that the financial forecast is separate and you can go into great detail when forecasting. The industry comparison allow you to see how you stack up against competition and others businesses in similar industries. Lastly once done with one business plan you can archive and save the information to work on another business

I couldn't be happier with my experience with the program and customer service a couple of times when I needed them. The best part for me in the feeling of confidence it gave me. It really made me feel like my goals and even dreams were actually possible to reach.

Found the overall functionality and content to be very useful and really does help in getting a professional, well-presented plan built from scratch. In-built tools and 'help' add-ons are also very informative and provide ideal support for developing a meaningful plan. Overall, an excellent product and user experience. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

LivePlan is a terrific asset for anyone that is interested in a professional and well designed business plan. It is easy to use and allows for many changes to review the before and after. The best part is the support staff who are gifted subject matter experts. I am impressed with the support staff and impressed with the tools. The results of the LivePlan system speak for themselves. I just hope that the expectations are exceeded when the secret is out about LivePlan! ; > )

LivePlan was a lifesaver for when we were starting our business! It allowed us to make a business plan with financial projections to show others, and honestly, everyone was blown away by our business plan. We discovered a lot of fellow business owners never even made a real plan! This kept us organized and on track, it helped us be realistic about our budget, and in the end, thanks to the organization and upfront work, our business's first year was quite a success and we did even better than our projections! I really think live plan is the best option out there for people trying to start a business. We never really needed any customer service help because everything was so user friendly.

LivePlan is the only product I've ever seen that supports building a coherent, accurate business plan in the format that readers expect and demand. I can build spreadsheets all day long, but as an engineer I can't do them in a proper accounting format. LivePlan does that easily and with great accuracy. As well, the framework for the text portions are exactly what investors look for, so again, ten gold stars for LivePlan.

I've interacted with several of the team members for LivePlan, and each one has been professional, helpful, and interested in what I have to say. Likewise, it's educational for me when I work with them and have questions, as they are prompt to address any question or issue. Actually, I've never had an "issue," only questions about how to do something. It's refreshing to engage with a software company with this level of quality, timeliness, and professionalism. Besides the great customer service, I'll add that the product is top-notch, and I don't believe anything in the market compares with it. Overall, I recommend it as a great value.

Our LivePlan experience was great. No technical issues whatsoever. Their user interface made navigating the platform easy, and there were always helpful hints and videos to get us started. Not only did it help us write a great business plan, but it also made financial projections easy and helped us create a great pitch. With LivePlan, we were able to get the funding we needed to grow our business. Highly recommended.

I found this tool at the right time. I had to write a full business plan which can be daunting. Although I had most of my sections fleshed out, this tool helped me organize, offered tips, wording, examples and guidance throughout the process. It seriously saved me a ton of time and filled all of the gaps I missed in my original draft. LivePlan's breadth of information and tools provide a holistic approach to a plan. I would recommend this to anyone tasked with writing a business plan, even if you have most of the information already.

User friendly, robust tool and I am just getting started. To top it off their customer service is super efficient, responding to inquiries within 24 hours or same day! I am shock at how well they respond and then follow up to evaluate each touch point I've experienced thus far. Also, I am already loving the webinars and the direct way to ask questions. I am excited about this platform for our organization's financial planning needs.

I worked with many entrepreneurs who felt like planning would slow them down and restrict choices. After I shared LivePlan, they realized the opposite was true: data, charts and living plans allow you to make better informed choices that deliver growth.

I needed to write a business plan for my investors. I was going nuts trying to create charts and properly format them. Then a friend recommended LivePlan! The financials were so easy to use and I liked knowing the calculations were all correct. It helped me create a precise plan to confidently share with investors, and I've raised $3M so far!

I researched business plan templates online to help me write my business plan, and they were not unique enough for my business idea. I was so pleased when I discovered LivePlan. It's helped me think through my business strategy, and take a sophisticated approach to writing the core components of my business plan - especially my financials. I appreciate the structure, flexibility and built-in financial calculations that LivePlan provided.

LivePlan is awesome. I love what you guys are doing. You actually helped my startup win a national business plan competition! I've created a business plan by scratch on my own before and I was able to GREATLY reduce the time it took me to complete it using LivePlan.

I've checked out no fewer than 10 other options. This is by far the most simple, the most user friendly, and the most feature-rich option out there. It's not only the cleanest and best-working (no bugs!), but it actually gives you the tools you need to cover a wide variety of business planning needs. Given the range of functionality (for example, you can do month-by-month sales forecasting for 36 months at the basic price level - something that most other services charge you an arm and a leg to upgrade tiers to gain access to), no other software comes close to this. And the final output of the business plan is SO CLEAN. A nice variety of example plans are available, and the "guided" element of going step-by-step is really actually helpful (instead of prohibitive, as I've found some guided software just takes you too far away from what you should really be focusing your time on).

I was really stuck on a business model I had created for a renewable energy company. I decided to take a chance on LivePlan and was not dissappointed. I raised $1.3 million for my client in private capital as a result. On my second plan I was able to secure capital improvements for a client from their landlord in the amount of $250k. While the capital is important, it will be the implementation of the plan(s) that yields the most benefit for the client.

Prior to using LivePlan, I provided students with a Word document template for their business plan. Even though I encouraged students to use a collaboration tool such as Google Groups, many did not. They were emailing the plan back and forth between each other and it was difficult to keep track of versions and changes. LivePlan really facilitated communication between students who were in a team on the business plan project. Students could comment on sections of their business plan and collaborate on what to change in their plan without having to meet face-to-face.

LivePlan set me off on the right trajectory at the earliest, most critical stages of conceptualizing and launching my business. It helped me think through my business holistically - prompting me to develop plans for vital areas I might have otherwise shied away from. The experience of using LivePlan was actually inspirational, as it kept me laser-focused on my company's potential. I had so much fun creating the future, it was hard to walk away from my plan! With my initial plan complete, I now have a "compass" to constantly refer back to to keep me on track for growth and remind me of great ideas I intend to pursue. LivePlan also helps me monitor what I've accomplished - and that's always motivating.

LivePlan was so great that I don't have one recommendation for improvement! I really liked how it forced me to think through key parts of my business, like my competition, market research, and calculating my margins. We've only been in business for 6 months, and we've already exceeded our sales projections by about 100%. I attribute a lot of it to the way the business plan was organized. It helped shape the marketing message, and the consistency in which it has been delivered.

LivePlan helped focus me. I was able to document my goals and milestones, and it helped me realize how many clients I need in order to hit my revenue goals. I don't really enjoy writing, so the sample plans included in LivePlan nudged me along and really helped me write a solid plan.
