The customer service is shockingly amazing. I requested one payment refund after not using it in over a year and it was super quick and easy.

Great presentation aesthetics. Great tips on use and preparation.

I am very happy with this product and highly recommend to everyone to give it a try.

Live Plan was perfect for my needs - it helped me shape my strategic plan and think through my start-up capital requirements and revenue projections.

Customer service is excellent, I was able to reach someone immediately when calling.

The templates were also very helpful to show me what a plan should look like.

Integration with my online accounting software was pretty helpful too.

I recommended it it to several prospective bakery owners as a well-priced tool to start turning their dream into a viable business reality.

Easy to use online and has a very good technical support. It is great that they keep your files or give files to you if you decided to cancel the account, that made me trust LivePlan more.

I got stuck at the beginning a little bit with the various summaries.

I really like all the integrated charts and graphs to help me clearly envision the current status of my financial goals.

I really appreciated how easy it was to project the impact of the decisions we were considering. It made planning my business's growth intuitive.

I really like this software because of the features it has and it's price.

It was a great experience with LivePlan. They have a clean and attractive user interface with helpful guidance.

I loved that it gave me some industry benchmarks and suggested budget items (like employee payroll liabilities) I hadn't thought of.

It made using the review feature (to compare projections with performance) more difficult to use.

Warning, If you sign in you will not be able to cancel your service.

Unfortunately it is limited to that time frame which disappoints because other than the time frame, just about everything else is customizable.

Live Plan gives you a good look, at the viability, of a business opportunity. I have used it several different time to help make sound business decisions.

This software was amazing for my initial business planning phase.

Business plan preparation can be overwhelming; however, LivePlan made it easy to build and update our vision and communicate with relative ease.

Overall, i was able to put my business idea on paper and see exactly what the budget and funding looks like. It really helped me decide whether or not the business idea was worth pursuing.

I like the ease of use, support and the step by step process.

The experience was productive and the software is great.

Very useful in planning, pitching and eventually starting my business. It supported every element from ideation through to detailed p&l & balance sheet for presentation to investors.
