I purchased a subscription a few months back, but my Web App account is a Free Trial. What is happening?

The first thing to do is to make sure you're using the right email address for your account. Your paid account is linked to the email address with which you made the purchase. If you can’t remember the email you used for your purchase, please contact us at support@business-in-a-box.com .

I push on the Download button and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

When you click on the Download button, a copy of the template you requested in Word or Excel format will be downloaded in your Downloads folder. Various browsers react differently: If you are using Google Chrome, you should see the document in the lower left corner of your screen. On Firefox, you will be prompted to save, then you need to click on the downward arrow in the top right corner to open the document. On Edge or Internet Explorer, a yellow bar at the bottom will prompt you to save and open.

If you cannot find the template in your Downloads folder, please log out of the application, close the browser window and reopen a new one, then log in again. Try to download the document. If you still don’t see the document in your Downloads folder, please contact us at support@business-in-a-box.com with the following information:

  • Email address of the Web App account
  • Type of browser that you are using (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc)
  • Name of the document that you are trying to download
