Automatic Financial Forecasting Software
Business plan financials made easy
Automatic financials — no spreadsheets required
With LivePlan's financial projections software, you don't have to worry about navigating complex spreadsheets or breaking formulas in Excel. LivePlan's financial forecasting tool takes you step-by-step through the process of creating the powerful financial reports you need for your business plan—even if you don't have prior business experience.
Finish your forecast faster with AI
Are you unclear on all the ways your business could make money? Not sure about your operating expenses? The LivePlan Assistant gives you customized suggestions for revenue and expense streams. Then you can just click on a recommendation and bring it into your forecast.
Drag and drop financial forecasting
More of a visual person than a numbers person? No problem. LivePlan's unique "drag and drop" interface of financial forecasting tools makes creating budgets and forecasts easy. Just click and drag to create your budget, and see how your budget and forecast changes with the seasons.
Automatic Charts and Graphs
Forget messing around with Excel and Word to create charts and graphs for your business plan. LivePlan's financial forecasting software creates all the charts and graphs you need and automatically includes them in your business plan. Of course, you can rearrange your charts if you want or just remove them if you don't want to include them—but we don't recommend that!
