Great software
Reviewed on 2019/07/17
Pros
This is a great solution for writing your biz plan. I used this when starting my company and found the templates to be extremely helpful. The end result was a well put together plan that helped me launch!
Cons
The look of the plan was not great. Copying items from my other planning tools was not as simple as I had hoped.

Makes the daunting task of writing business plans (almost) fun!
Reviewed on 2019/09/12
The number of hours I've saved using Bizplan cannot even be counted.
Pros
The user interface for Bizplan turns boring business plan writing into a much more (almost) fun user experience. (I say almost because it's still a business plan, and writing is not my strong suit). Not only that, but the report it outputs makes you look like a pro with minimal effort.
Cons
I don't really have any constructive feedback in terms of improvements or things that I don't like about Bizplan.

Bizplan for Your Business Plan from Scratch
Reviewed on 2019/02/12
I'm especially familiar with this software in the context of mentoring new entrepreneurs. It is a fantastic tool to use with this audience, and really helps them clarify their unique selling proposition, think about their team and do the basic market research essential to talk to prospective investors, lenders and other stakeholders.
Pros
Bizplan makes it easy to forge a professional, workable, shareable business plan from scratch. It does this by asking all the right questions.
Cons
If you already have an existing plan, or maybe if you're moving from a similar software solution (like Liveplan), importing and cutting/pasting isn't as easy as it might be.

BizPlan Review
Reviewed on 2017/10/12
Pros
We purchased BizPlan to help us build a business plan, because building a business plan is just as hard as building a business from scratch, or at least it felt that way.
We are required to build a business plan almost every quarter to submit to the bank for us to secure bank loans for the company. Therefore we where given the task to find a tool that was easy to use and help us with the process.
Having a living document that adapts to our needs as we grow as a company is one less thing we have to worry about. Adaptable, editable and overall ease of use
Cons
One major con for us is that this product is not scalable, and there is no free version to see if this product is right for you. This product is not compatible with mobile phones is the other down fall.
This can only be viewed by a laptop or computer.

Bizplan makes planning a breeze

We were looking for a tool to secure a bank loan, and Bizplan made it easy to create a professional looking proposal in no time. Just had to punch in our content and data, and out spits the templates and presentation.

You need to get BizPlan
Reviewed on 2018/12/29
Overall, I recommend this tool to anyone who is starting a business. Especially if you don't know where to find the best business plan template.
Pros
This is a complete SaaS solution for writing your business plan!
It's amazing in that it has all the important questions already mapped out for you.
If you've ever written a business plan, you know the hardest part is knowing which questions to ask.
BizPlan makes that a snap, because it is all part of the templates they offer you.
All the questions and tools are set up in an intuitive flow, that lets you answer the questions easily and in the right order.
Once you have finished all the questions you will have a state of the art business plan.
This tool is curated by some of the most experienced entrepreneurs, and has all the fixings of a reputable plan. Use it!
Cons
They limit the amount of plans you can have at one time. Honestly this is fine, because you should be focusing on one at a time anyways.

Eases the Process of Wrinng a Business Plan
Reviewed on 2018/10/24
Let's face it: It's not easy t write a business plan. Bizplan helps that process by asking the right questions and by helping you put together the right kind of information in one place so that you can go to it often for inspiration and for help in clarifying things as a business owner.
Pros
It writes the *right* questions, such as "Which problem are you trying to solve?" This allows an entrepreneur or a business owner to narrow their focus to solving specific problems for specific people. It's also comprehensive and hits on all aspects of starting and running a business such as financials (revenues, expenses, funding, and more), team, products, markets, goals, strategy, and customers. It has progress bars for various topics so you know what you have to work on and charts that visually shows projections, break-even etc.
Cons
A bit overwhelming to get it all together and do enough deep thinking in various aspects of starting and running a business. Sure, the process of starting and running a business itself is often overwhelming, and the best that the software like this can do it make it easier and less painful. And yet, somewhere, somehow, I think that it can get even better.

Easy guided business plan and financial keeping for everyone who wants to plan a new company...
Reviewed on 2018/03/07
Pros
The separation in sections of the business plan to make it easy to compile and clear your idea from concept to further steps.
Cons
The financial part is complicated and some parts not so easy to understand. The lasck of tutorials or docymentation is one of the pain points.

Great Product with an Awesome Experience
Reviewed on 2017/04/17
Very similar to liveplan.com, Bizplan offers great business plan features. Creating your business plan and financial projections are pretty simple and straight-forward. Quickbooks comparison needs some work, but I love the design of this product.
However, best feature in my opinion: They give you a well designed, sharable webpage displaying your business plan in a beautiful design. This allows for dynamic, always updated sharing of your business plan without granting full-access or constantly downloading PDFs.
Pros
Easy to use. Great features. Beautiful Design.
Cons
Quickbooks actuals comparison is not as smooth as it could be. Undo is unavailable, so be careful before deleting a section of your plan.

It's an easy drag and drop builder in creating a business plan!
Reviewed on 2018/05/17
Pros
It is recommended to startups organisations since it is a builder. The financial projection feature is really good.
Cons
Needs more functionality added. Maybe an integration with payroll, invoicing software or timer will be helpful in the long run.

Great concept, great financial tools - ability to customise lacking
Reviewed on 2017/04/13
Conceptually I was really on board with the concept of business planning software, and I think there is a lot of potential for the product.
Feedback:
- Output of financial tools are incredible, really like the various views/breakdowns of financial forecasts - however, creating a financial model is a labour intensive process and getting to grips with the platform is slightly difficult on setup (e.g. the way team spend is setup and the inability to move employees between groups after creation; or do you include cost of sales on both the employee and the revenue model).
- Business planning software was flawed for my use in two areas:
1) I didn't like the input methods. Given I had already created various incarnations of the business plan for competitions etc, I had pre-existing paragraphs of text I was looking to slot in which didn't really work (e.g. my team bios were paragraph based not bulleted). Similarly I felt that while the text only sections gave you the freedom to write in any format, the output wasn't aesthetically structured so there was no real benefit over using word (unless you needed help with the overall plan contents/structure).
2) Design is really important to me, and I didn't like the aesthetics of the ouput business plan. A quick fix for this would be to offer various themes/layouts (using the same core input data).
Positively if you're starting from scratch with no prior knowledge, it gives a great guide as how to write a business plan. Given the level of detail required, and the financial modelling, you would expect users to have a relatively detailed understanding of business planning.
Ultimately I would use BizPlan just for the financial forecasts - not for the business plan. Unfortunately I'm now looking solely into financial forecasting software, given the lack of functionality on the business plan side, and will be creating my business plan using a template from GraphicRiver.
Would be happy to help in the future as it has the potential to be a great tool!

A product you can easily purchase on Envato for the same price.
Reviewed on 2018/03/22
Pros
I liked the concept of the product. It seemed like a great way to help startups organized but presenting parts of a business most don't think about.
Cons
The marketing materials was like a movie trailer. Looked fantastic, fit my needs. However, when I entered the product I saw that it was designed and built similarly to something you can easily find on Envato - a codeignitor php script you can purchase. It has design, functionality, and step by step process but it isn't a full fledged product and is a bit confusing. I can live with it, knowing that it was a one time purchase or so but what really got to me was their customer service.
I can live with customer service that have poor communication skills as long as I can get my issue resolved, but not only where they bad communicators, they were also not knowledgeable about the product. In the end, they blamed me for their own lack of resolve to help the customer and decided to keep my money and not refund me when I just paid to upgrade to a larger bundle.

Cool System For Analyzing Your Business
Reviewed on 2018/03/12
Pros
I bought BizPlan through a 3rd party service that was running an incredible lifetime offer for the service. I've used it to analyze one my recent startups and judge how well it is doing. They system integrate with quickbooks which makes it easy to analyze your projections versus actual.
Cons
They system still needs some functionality tied in with quickbooks and probably payroll providers for some businesses. Customer support could also be a bit better.
