Allen, we're so happy to hear you're enjoying LivePlan. Wishing you the best in your business journey!

LivePlan is business planning software trusted by 1 million+ entrepreneurs for simple planning and smarter decisions. It helps small businesses and startups create business plans, forecast financials, research their market, and track performance — whether they're starting up or scaling up.Idea Canvas lets entrepreneurs quickly capture and shape a business concept before committing to a full plan. It's the fastest way to pressure-test an idea, align stakeholders, and decide whether to move forward — without the overhead of building a complete business plan from scratch.Market Research gives business owners access to real industry data to size their market opportunity, benchmark against competitors, and build a strategy backed by facts rather than assumptions. Walk into any investor or lender meeting with credible numbers already built into your plan.From there, LivePlan's step-by-step business plan builder and AI writing assistant — trained on thousands of successful plans and 30+ years of planning expertise — helps entrepreneurs create investor-ready plans and SBA-approved documents in hours, not days.Financial Forecasting eliminates complex spreadsheets with automated, formula-driven projections. Sync QuickBooks or Xero to pull real accounting data directly into LivePlan, then track performance on a live Dashboard that automatically generates charts and graphs for easy stakeholder reporting.Plan Review and the AI Monthly Review take performance tracking to the next level. Each month, LivePlan's AI automatically analyzes your financial forecast against your actual results pulled directly from QuickBooks or Xero — identifying where revenue, expenses, or cash flow are diverging from your plan. Instead of manually reconciling spreadsheets, business owners receive a clear, plain-language breakdown of what's on track, what's off, and what needs attention — so they can make faster, more confident decisions and course-correct before small gaps become costly problems.LivePl

Since I started using LivePlan, I have successfully secured funding twice for my business, which has been a significant milestone in my entrepreneurial journey. The platform has not only provided me with the tools to create comprehensive business plans but has also helped me track my financial performance and set realistic goals. I genuinely wish to continue using LivePlan in the long term, as I believe it will play a crucial role in helping me grow and scale my business further. The insights and guidance I gain from it are invaluable, and I am excited about the future possibilities it can unlock for me.

The software is friendly, intuitive, and easy to use — which matters when you’re working on a business plan under time pressure. The Forecast section is the standout for me: cash flow, depreciation, taxes, and the related calculations are automated in a way that saves a huge amount of time and improves reliability. It’s reassuring to know the numbers stay consistent without having to rebuild spreadsheets manually. One feature I’d love to see added is an AI copilot. LivePlan is a perfect fit for it because a business plan is a living document: a small change in assumptions often needs to propagate across multiple sections. An assistant that helps update narratives and ensures cross-document consistency (while keeping the financial model aligned) would be a powerful next step. Overall, it’s a great tool and I’m glad I chose it.

Roberto, thanks for leaving such a wonderful - detailed review! You hit the nail on the head re: our forecasting value - time saving, accurate and reliable, updates in all the places. This is what many of our customers say LivePlan helps make forecasting/financials less daunting. Also, solid feedback re: the AI co pilot. If you haven't yet seen the Monthly Review feature in your Forecast Dashboard (once connected to QuickBooks or Xero), you might find it pretty neat. Regardless I'll pass your feedback onto our product team and we appreciate you being a LivePlan customer!
