Create, collaborate, and share your business plan with investors and potential customers. We provide education and tools to walk aspiring Founders through the entire startup process: including education, business planning, mentorship, customer acquisition, funding, and staffing.
I would give it a 9 on ease of use. But probably more like a 5 or 6 on consistency/glitchiness. I had quite a few small issues making certain features work....and then they would work great the next day.
As long as the tools functioned as intended, I really like the software. I was able to work smoothly with it, and more importantly its laid out in a way that is logical in terms of order of thought/planning of a business plan. I.e. I did not feel like my thought process was hindered by the workflow. It was good for ideation in how we are planning to do things with our new Roastery.
There is some good info on each feature in the software, but you need to at least be fairly familiar with the financial layout of your business in order to build this out. Great way for a non finance person to build out a pretty fully featured plan without missing too many things.
I am liking the software in general. Looking forward to playing with it more.
I'd recommend it for the entry level price for sure.
Pros:Simple and Fast ideation of a fairly comprehensive business plan. Customer Service is stellar. Their chat feature is an instant real person.
Cons:Some bugs being worked out, but they're working on it.
I was initially very excited to use Bizplan. As a founder, I would much rather be working on tasks that directly impact the success of the business, not accounting. However, when I started using this platform, it seems to be very poorly designed. It's very buggy.
The very first page broke and I had to manually change an HTTP request to get by. Finally it asked me to upgrade to premium, even though I was already a premium user. I started to enter some financial data and it kept failing to save, or closing out on me.
Beyond the bugs, the design of the platform is sub-par. It's not overly easy to navigate and could certainly be described as confusing.
All-in-all, I would not recommend BizPlan to my greatest competitor/enemy. Avoid this product at all costs.
Pros:It looks nice
Cons:Very buggy and not a lot of functionality
I honestly think that it is well worth it and for startups should be more than enough
Pros:I has a lot of functionalities like selling and purchasing on credit and Inventory. The design and graphics look awesome.
Cons:It acts funny sometimes and you cannot separate the sales terms by each client.
One of the best and most flexible tools out there to write biz plans, especially for novices. The tool has also been continually improved. Initially I experienced reliability issues around saving plans as you're writing but those problems seem to have been fixed.
Pros:Ease of use, streamlines the process of writing business plans, makes it easy to output to PDF, includes relevant sections for financials
Cons:Make it easier to consume data from more platforms; tool is flexible enough to get around it
I'd rate the product at an 8 thus far; nice and simple to populate.
Pros:Appreciate the comments at the beginning of each section to help set the focus.
Cons:We had trouble (and it was likely user error) getting the document over to a potential investor.
We have used Bizplan since 2016 for several businesses and its we have enjoyed to have all data about our business plans on one handy platform and the reports generated have been appreciated by stakeholders. Please do understand that you need to present different information to different stakeholders though - such functionality would be highly appreciated in future releases.
Pros:Super comfortable to have all details at one place where all our users can work
Cons:Still no business plan templates and a bit dated way of doing business planing
