Review: LivePlan business planning service

If so, what did I miss?

"You can copy an existing plan that youve created. From the My Plans screen, choose the plan you would like to copy and select Copy. With regard to the start date, that may be somewhat unclear. Start date refers to the plan start date rather than the company start date.Although our product testing focuses on traditional desktop computers, we do test on tablets and mobile devices. And thank you for mentioning Bplans. Its our free educational resource site to help entrepreneurs and small businesses and is a tremendous source of information on business planning and management."

I've always enjoyed your input at TR. I know so many upstarts that could use this. It seems like the first thing they fall down on, before going before investors, bankers, or the chief officer that they need to convince.

I found myself practically writing a mini-business plans just talking about a major repair to a particular department of a manufacturing firm. I got so used to preparing for it, it becomes second nature.

What really floors a banker; is when you stop in the middle of the plan because you see a flaw and want to back out! For me, the financial institution was so impressed they started brain storming on a work-around; so we could drive on!

Thanks!
