Meet the BPlanMaker Team

BPlanMaker is built and run by a small, specialized team focused on one thing: creating lender-ready, industry-specific business plan templates for U.S. entrepreneurs. Together, we combine decades of experience in business planning, professional writing, market research, and small-business support.
