What it is: a lender-ready auto body shop business plan template in Word plus a 36-month Excel model. Who it’s for: U.S. founders opening or expanding collision repair, paint & dent, or restoration operations needing SBA-style structure. What’s inside: seven clear sections (Executive Summary → Financials), realistic startup costs, pricing logic tied to booth cycles and labor hours, and cash-flow with sensitivity tests. Why it wins: it uses lender language (unit economics, break-even, repayment comfort) and an operator’s workflow. Delivery: instant digital download—edit today, export to PDF, and present this week.
Body, paint, and refinish services show steady demand across insurance-directed and customer-pay work. Operators who manage parts sourcing, paint/materials usage, labor productivity, and booth utilization stabilize margins early and reach break-even faster.
