One of the most important steps to starting a business is writing a business plan, but that can be a long process, and many entrepreneurs find it daunting. Fortunately, there is a software solution designed to take all of the guesswork out of writing a business plan: LivePlan.

LivePlan has an intuitive online platform that guides users through the process of writing a business plan one step at a time. It breaks business planning down into five simple sections and provides guidance and examples all along the way. During the process, clients can invite collaborators (such as OzSBI Mentors, business partners, possible investors, peers, etc) to review their plan and provide helpful feedback. With live chat assistance, robust help, detailed financial forecasting, AI assistance, and hundreds of sample business plans, LivePlan is the best online platform that we’ve found for writing a business plan.

We have used LivePlan with our LaunchU students for years, and I’ve written my own business plan in the system. I find it to be the most streamlined, intuitive product out there and am eager to share this resource with our clients!
