liveplan.com Reviews

I have had multiple interactions with the Liveplan team recently after using Liveplan for about five years. I wish I had made contact earlier to get their support. Still, my delays did allow me to ask educated questions when I struck an issue around cash flow forecasting. Lindsay was one of the support people who helped me through the process, and I was pleased that she went away and did research when she was unsure of her answers. Together, we solved the problem, and I achieved a good outcome.

I used this for part of a small business course I was taking. It was a very nice way to know what information to gather, how to phrase it, and what was relevant to the success of my business. My business is a very small business that basically qualifies as a side-gig and so continuing to use the site doesn't make sense when compared to my growth. But even though I will no longer use LivePlan by the end of next year, I have a wonderful PDF filled with useful information. It is also laid out in such a way that I could use it to confidently pitch my idea to an investor or apply for a bank loan if I decided to grow my business.
Another feature I really like is the prediction of growth and potential future income based on past performances and future additions to products or services. This gave me a very clear view of my potential if I kept on in the same way or what could happen if I chose to make changes.

All good

I have contacted customer service a couple of time now for various questions. They have always been very prompt in responding and have been quick and efficient with answering my questions. Their follow-up is amazing and so is the LivePlan software. Highly recommended!

Plan worked well for me. Accepted by my Business Development advisor at UGA

Was great as a guide but lacked enough example for my field

Very helpful and responsive to any questions.

It was difficult to use and understand. Perhaps on-damand training videos would help

Easy to use, AI is a little confused when you use assistance for writing, but overall it's a good way to write a business plan.

Great product for creating business plans. Thank You

Very good listener, understood my question immediately.

LivePlan simplified the business plan process for both the clients and our consultants. Guiding clients through the planning process used to be a lengthy process filled with time-consuming steps filled with 1:1 contact hours. The intuitive structure and click-through design made formulating plans a simple process. It cut our working hours by 60% in the first year, and another 20% in the second. This significantly lowered overhead for us and total costs for our customers. A true win-win.

My experience with entrepreneurship and business plans is very agile, therefor live plan is great as I can make changes easily and have a new forecast generated instantly.
The way the topics and forecast elements are set is convenient, It practically leads you through the required topics, which has me thinking and rethinking about them with focus.
My financial consultant was impressed too. He was also able to review and add contextual comments per my invitation.
I recently had a technical issue and received help from Customer Advocacy and received excellent support from Ben Garcia resolving my issue. I'm finding very good value with LivePlan. Thanks!

I really appreciate LivePlan. Without it, I honestly do not know how long it would have taken me to create my business plan, let alone my financial forecast. This platform has been a Godsend to me and I am hopeful that the plan I have created will secure investor finance for my start up business, which already has a minimum viable product that's been taken to market already.

My only request is for LivePlan to look into additional features that will help entrepreneurs like me who do not have support, resources or financial means to get a business up and running. These features are:
1) An added feature that will help tell a story on how your business will perform (gains or pitfalls) so you are able to pitch to investors.
2) A feature that would rate your business plan and forecasts so you have feedback on whether you have a winning plan to secure investment.

LivePlan is already a great platform so these two features would set LivePlan apart from other platforms and allow existing customers to continue using LivePlan for our expansion/scalability plans.

Speedy responses and always helpful. I use Liveplan for my entrepreneurship classes and it's a really great tool to concisely organize students business plans.
