The layout and the sidenotes of each question, help you to think about what you need to write about in your business plan.
The financial graphs look attractive.
The exported web page is nicely laid out and pleasing to the eye. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The text editors are buggy when it comes to selecting and deleting and editing text. I raised an issue with their support over a year ago, they reproduced the issues and said it would be handed over to the 'dev team', but a year later, the issues were never fixed. What kind of SaaS doesn't fix blatant bugs after a year???
The biggest issue I had with Bizplan, was the absolutely mind-boggling stupid decision of someone who decided that a PUBLIC, exported business plan with a link to which anyone can view, would HIDE THE FINANCIALS AND APPENDIX sections of the business plan to anyone viewing it, if they weren't a logged in user.
I sent out my business plan PUBLIC LINK to over 30 VC's and embarrassingly after a few weeks had someone email me asking me if I 'had any financials' they could see. I was perplexed because the plan did have financials, as well as a detailed explanation of how I calculated them, which is when I discovered the financials and appendix are not shown in the PUBLIC link. There is no notification or message on the 'publish' page about this.
When I contacted their support they told me I had to rather export a PDF instead and share that. I've heard of some stupid design decisions in software, but this one takes the cake.
They also have some other usability issues, such as controls/toggles that don't have any apparent meaning at first, nor are mentioned in the documentation.
From what I can see, this software is no longer maintained/developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to have an all in one software for startups. Being able to raise startup capital is the number one concern for entrepreneurs when starting a business and this software really helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far I haven't found any, the annual subscription rate is affordable at only $20 per year. I would say you have to use the software every day to get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
