Common questions, short answers

Common questions about the software, pricing, exports and your data. Each answer fits in a few lines.

The software and how it works

Common questions about using Juristelo day to day.

Does Juristelo set up my company?+
No. Juristelo does not handle the legal formalities of setting up a company. The software produces a clear financial plan or forecast that you hand to your notary, your bank or an investor.
Do I need to be a finance expert to use Juristelo?+
No. The assistant asks about your activity, sales, investments and costs. It offers benchmark figures at every step. The calculation engine keeps every table accurate and consistent.
Is it really free to start?+
Yes. Creating an account costs nothing, and you get a 7-day free trial on the plan of your choice. There is no charge before the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime.
How long does a complete forecast take?+
Allow about an hour. A spreadsheet built by hand often takes several days.
What format does my document export to?+
Word (.docx) and PDF. The document has a polished layout, a table of contents and clear financial tables, ready to present.
Is my data protected?+
Yes. We encrypt your data and process it in line with the GDPR. It serves only to generate your documents.
What exactly is a financial forecast?+
A document that projects your project over several years. It brings together a projected income statement, a cash flow plan, a financing plan and a break-even point. It shows whether the project stands up and how much funding it needs.
Can I edit the figures and compare scenarios?+
Yes. Every assumption stays editable, and all the tables recalculate instantly. You can also duplicate a file to test a cautious, central or ambitious assumption, then compare the effect on cash.

Pricing, trial and subscription

Common questions about the trial, credits and billing.

What does a credit represent?+
One credit is roughly one written page. Your credits refill every month according to your plan.
Can I switch plans later?+
Yes. You can move to a higher or lower plan whenever you want, at no extra cost.
Do the displayed prices include VAT?+
No, prices exclude VAT. 21% VAT applies depending on your country, with reverse charge if you hold a valid EU VAT number.

Documents and sharing

Common questions about your files and how you share them.

Can I manage several companies or work as a team?+
Yes. Juristelo centralises several companies, their projects and their cash alerts in one view. You also manage your team's access.
Can I share my file with my bank?+
Yes. You export the file to PDF or Word, or you share a temporary link with your partners.

Belgium, France and the legal framework

What Juristelo covers, and what it does not, in each country.

What is the difference between a financial plan, a forecast and a business plan?+
The financial plan and the forecast describe the same exercise in figures: Belgium uses the first term, France the second. The business plan tells the story around those figures, covering market, offering and strategy.
Is a financial plan mandatory to set up an SRL?+
Yes. Article 5:4 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations requires you to hand the notary a financial plan before the deed of incorporation. The law requires two years at least; banks and notaries often expect three.
Does Juristelo work for a company in France?+
Yes. When you sign up, you choose your country and legal form, for example an SAS or a SARL. The interface then adjusts legal forms, thresholds and obligations.
Do the letter templates replace a lawyer?+
No. Our templates structure the useful elements, but they remain informative. They do not amount to legal advice tailored to your situation.
Are the free calculators enough to make a decision?+
They give a reliable order of magnitude for one precise question. Tax and social rates change every financial year, and we keep them current. A calculator never replaces an accountant's opinion on your situation.
