How do I download or print my forecast or financial statements?

LivePlan offers two ways to download your forecast data:

  • You can print reports from the Forecast section so that you can share your forecast data
  • You can print a more formatted section from your business plan that contains only the financial statements.
Note: All of the data you've entered into the Forecast section of LivePlan is compiled into three financial statements when included in your business plan: the Profit and Loss, the Balance Sheet, and the Cash Flow.

Printing from the Forecast section

You can print customized reports directly from the Forecast section if you need to share your detailed forecast with a colleague or advisor.

    1. In the Forecast section, click Download & Print:

    Note: This setting will remain in place until you change it, so if you need to download your plan containing the written sections and the financials, just return to this overlay and re-check the chapter boxes.
  4. Now, when you download your plan as a PDF or export it as a Word document, it will contain only your financial statements. If you'd like those statements to be more detailed, please continue reading.

Creating a financials-only download with detailed statements

With this option, your downloaded document will contain two sets of financial statements: one with annual totals and one with monthly details. You can also include several extra details to suit your needs.
