Business Plan Templates for 370+ Industries (SBA-Ready)

BPlanMaker specializes in one thing: professionally written, lender-ready business plan templates. Every template is fully written, industry-specific, and structured the way U.S. banks, SBA reviewers, and investors expect. Instead of starting from a blank page, you pick the business plan template that matches your idea, customize the details, and export a polished PDF that’s ready to share.

Use these business plan templates for startups, SBA loan packages, lease negotiations, investor decks, and expansion plans. One template can support multiple funding conversations as your business grows.

How Our Business Plan Templates Work

Each BPlanMaker business plan template is delivered in Microsoft Word and PDF. The outline follows a lender-style structure so reviewers can quickly find what they need:

• Executive Summary – clear snapshot of your concept, location, and funding request.
• Market Analysis – real-world U.S. market signals, competitors, and target customers.
• Operations & Management – how the business runs day to day, staffing, and workflows.
• Services, Products & Pricing – what you sell and how you make money.
• Financials – 3-year forecast with startup costs, revenues, and projected cash flow.

You open the business plan template in Word or Google Docs, update the wording and numbers to match your exact business, and then export a lender-ready PDF. The structure stays SBA-aligned; the details become uniquely yours.

How to Choose the Right Business Plan Template

Not sure which business plan template is the best fit? Start with the industry that matches your concept most closely, then think about how you’ll operate day to day. Use this quick checklist:

• Match the core model: service, food & beverage, retail, online, mobile, or seasonal.
• Consider regulations: if your business needs licenses, inspections, or medical/health oversight, choose a template in a similar regulated space.
• Think about ticket size: equipment-heavy, high-ticket businesses benefit from templates with capital-intensive assumptions.
• Look at revenue streams: pick a template where the mix of services, memberships, or product sales feels close to your plan.
• Use “closest fit” if needed: it doesn’t have to be a perfect match—the template gives you a starting point you can customize.

Once you’ve chosen a starting point, you can edit any section of the business plan template so it reflects your exact concept, location, and pricing.

Real-World Ways Entrepreneurs Use These Templates

BPlanMaker business plan templates are used across the U.S. for real funding and growth conversations, including:

• Attaching a lender-ready plan to an SBA 7(a) or 504 loan application.
• Presenting a clear, structured plan to local banks and credit unions.
• Negotiating a commercial lease with landlords who want to understand your projections.
• Supporting an investor pitch deck with detailed financials and market analysis.
• Planning expansion, relocation, or adding new services to an existing business.

How We Build Each Business Plan Template (Our Methodology)

Every BPlanMaker business plan template is built using a consistent, lender-focused methodology:

1. Industry research: we review U.S. market data, competitor examples, and operating models for that specific niche.
2. SBA-aligned structure: the plan follows a format that aligns with what SBA lenders and banks expect to see.
3. Operational detail: we map typical workflows, staffing needs, and service offerings into the narrative.
4. Financial modeling: a 3-year forecast is built with editable line items, so you can adjust pricing, volume, and costs.
5. Plain-language editing: we refine each business plan template so it’s easy to understand, even for non-financial readers.

The result is a professional business plan template that balances lender expectations with real-world operating details—so you can move faster without sacrificing quality.
