Before you buy

How do I receive the business plan?
After Paystack verifies payment, you can download the files immediately and BizPlans also emails a private download link to the address used at checkout.
Can I use M-Pesa?
Yes. Paystack supports M-Pesa and bank card payments for Kenyan buyers.
Can I edit the numbers after buying?
The PDF is a reference document rather than an editable file. Where an editable calculator is included, the product page states this clearly.
