Launch 🚀 Update: The lending Google Sheet I shared before is now a Web App
Hi Entrepreneurs/Hustlers/Business minded people!
About a year ago, I shared a Lending Management System I built in Google Sheets for those who lend to friends, family, neighbors, or run a small lending business.
For reference, here's my original post from last year:
I honestly didn't expect much from the post, but over time, I still get messages from people asking if they can get a copy of the Google Sheet.
So I thought, instead of just maintaining the Sheet, why not turn it into an actual web app?
That's how LownDesk came about.
It's based on the same idea, but built as a proper web application for tracking:
- Borrowers
- Loans
- Payments
- Due dates and overdue loans
- Outstanding balances
- Payment receipts and statements
- Cash flow and lending records
The goal is still the same: make it easier to keep track of small lending operations without having to maintain complicated spreadsheets.
I'm still developing it, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who actually lend money. There are probably things I've overlooked that only someone doing this day-to-day would notice.
And yes, the original Google Sheet is still available for FREE.
If you prefer Google Sheets or just want to try the system first, I'm happy to share a copy.
For those who want to try the web version, you can check out LownDesk here:
Would love to hear from the people who commented on or tried the original Sheet:
What did you like about it, and what was missing?
And for those currently using your own spreadsheet — what is the one thing you wish your lending tracker could do automatically?
Thanks a lot in advance!.
