I’ve had the opportunity over the past few weeks to use PlanHQ to prepare a plan for a small software project.
Writing a business plan can be daunting and can often end up containing useless information, or being far too long. I found PlanHQ to be a good way of keeping the plan focused and organised. It guided me though the high-level thinking about the vision, objectives and opportunity before getting into the detail of the solution. The fact that I could also leave the marketing & sales section to someone else, while focusing on the delivery plan was excellent!
What sets PlanHQ apart is the integration of goals and finances into each section of the plan. The goals help you to plan for important milestones and keep the financing in-sync while executing the plan. The new dashboard also helps to keep you focused on the goals that will drive the business forward and keep your plan alive instead of gathering dust like most business plans.
The only downside was the limitations on the cheaper plans. My plan was very small, yet I needed the top price so I could have more than 10 goals. I’d rather have no limitations on the content in a plan and pay more to manage multiple plans.

Thats great to hear Andrew,
I think thats a fair point on the number of goals, especially in the latest new and improved where we’re trying to help you focus on having more shorter term achievable goals, we’ll be revising the goal limit shortly,
thanks,
Tim
