simbly was created in Vienna in 2023 by a founding team that had already been through the bureaucracy of starting a business themselves. Their first target was the business plan: a document that accountants routinely charge more than EUR 2,000 to prepare, and that eats weeks of a founder's free time. simbly compresses that workflow into a guided web app where you supply the facts about your business and the AI supplies the structure, wording and financial logic.
The tool is deliberately opinionated for the German-speaking market. It is tuned for shop owners, trades businesses, restaurants and other classic Mittelstand founders in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and it follows the conventions lenders and chambers of commerce there expect. Founders pitch it to investors on the Austrian TV show "2 Minuten 2 Millionen", and the company reports more than 1,200 plans produced.
Pricing is a free entry tier plus two one-time paid packages. Free covers structured input, three-year financial planning and AI text, while Pro at EUR 249 unlocks the bank-compliant document with detailed monthly planning, market and competitor analysis and a viability check. Pro + Beratung at EUR 649 adds two hours of personal consulting with the founder, input support and planning for business takeovers. Because payment happens at the end, you can build and preview your plan before spending anything.
