Planswell is now open for business across the country


The Toronto-based startup has already built over 17,000 free financial plans for Canadians

TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Effective immediately, Canadians in BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia can create a free financial plan in minutes by going to www.planswell.com.

"We've seen that basically no one knows what they need to do on a monthly basis to maintain their lifestyle in retirement," said Planswell CEO and co-founder, Eric Arnold. "It's been amazing and we can't wait to ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to secure their financial future, regardless of their current status."

The team of personal finance and technology experts at Planswell has designed and built the world's first financial planning engine that shows people how to maximize their investment potential, minimize their borrowing costs, and financially protect themselves and their loved ones. The IP behind the engine is detailed in the company's patent application.

The company has raised a $6.8 million dollar seed round from a range of investors, including former senior executives from some of Canada's top financial institutions.

"Over 100,000 financial advisors across Canada will tell you that their ideal client has $1 million or more in investable assets. That's just under 1% of the population," said Arnold. "The other 99% have been completely ignored, or worse, have been targets of predatory, high-fee products in the absence of a plan. We're finding we can save Canadians hundreds of thousands of dollars towards their retirements through better planning."
