"I found this site and decided to give it a try as I needed a business plan and I had not completed one before. I was more than happy with the software. It was easy to use and easily structured so I could complete a professional business plan. Even the profit and loss forecasts were straightforward and it was this I was apprehensive about. I would like to thank Palo Alto Software for the chance to make a very daunting job seem easy and it has given me the first steps to achieving my dream."

"I needed to write a business plan, it was an absolutely daunting task, I bought books, watched videos, read on-line forums and how to's... Nothing was motivating me to start and to keep at it. Then I came across LivePlan by Palo Alto! Wow! It was so easy to follow and it kept me on track. The series of questions with examples was so helpful. Now I have a 32 page - I'm amazed - business plan, done! I know this sounds like a commercial, it's not. I'm a real procrastinating person who used this and got it done! "

"LivePlan was instrumental in helping us create our first business plan. The banks were very impressed! ...but since we're a church, no banks would loan to us -- but ALL of the banks complimented our business plan. :-) We did get the business started from raising funds from church members, launched at 1/2 our preferred size, which has been a difficult start, but we're working it. Thanks for your help!"

"Thank you very much for your superb software and guidance, we are making our dreams come true! Our bank said it was the best business plan they have ever seen and recommended that we teach other people how to write business plans! We laughed and said that we had the best teacher, Live Plan! Anyone wanting to start a new business should go through this process, you learn a lot about yourself and about your business. Live Plan helped us not only see some immediate needs for our business, but also future needs and realizations. Thank you very much for everything! Sincerely, Eric and Lori, Tranquil Vibe Day Spa"

"I just completed my business plan using LivePlan for a proposal submission. LivePlan produced a stellar business plan: nicely formatted, and very readable. I have been poring over how-to books for months and was still confused. Thank you LivePlan for holding this dummy's hand through the process and letting me use a great product."

"LivePlan set me off on the right trajectory at the earliest, most critical stages of conceptualizing and launching my business. It helped me think through my business holistically – prompting me to develop plans for vital areas I might have otherwise shied away from. The experience of using LivePlan was actually inspirational, as it kept me laser-focused on my company’s potential. I had so much fun creating the future, it was hard to walk away from my plan! With my initial plan complete, I now have a “compass” to constantly refer back to to keep me on track for growth and remind me of great ideas I intend to pursue. LivePlan also helps me monitor what I’ve accomplished – and that’s always motivating."

"I've used Palo Alto Software's business planning tools for the last 6 years. I first used Business Plan Pro, and it helped me create a plan that impressed my investors. I raised $500,000 for my first company. I then used LivePlan to write a business plan for my second company, and raised $450,000. I've since sold that company, and credit LivePlan and Palo Alto Software for developing tools that meet my fundraising needs! If you're a busy entrepreneur like me - then you don't want to waste your time trying to write a plan on your own. The outline in LivePlan is perfect! I'm also excited to integrate my QuickBooks account with my LivePlan account to see how well I'm doing compared to what I projected in my plan. In my opinion - LivePlan is the best business planning tool on the market - hands down! thank you Palo Alto Software."

"I found LivePlan to be EXTREMELY easy to use. The website is very simple and intuitive. The business plans have enough structure that you feel like it's easily completed but have enough flexibility that you feel it's customizable and relevant. I was SO pleased with the product--I can't imagine making a business plan without it! If you aren't too good at numbers and find that side of the business plan to be daunting, LivePlan will be especially helpful to you. They know exactly which questions to ask. All you have to do is plug in quantities and prices, and the program turns out incredibly professional and comprehensive graphs. The finished product will legitimize any business plan you propose--and no one will know how easy it was! Cannot say enough wonderful things about LivePlan."

"Excellent products and phenomenal support. They actually LISTENED to my concerns and responded with creative solutions that were non-scripted and a pleasant surprise for someone who deals with a number of software suppliers. I remain a fiercely loyal customer who has once again been delighted with Palo Alto and their team!"
