BPlanMaker specializes in U.S. small-business plan templates used by founders seeking SBA loans, equipment financing, or investors. Each plan follows a consistent outline, real-world KPIs, and an auditable 3-year model. Editorial standards: plain English, source transparency, and lender-first formatting.
Quick answer: A lender-ready painting business plan (Word & PDF) with pricing & estimating guidance, crew/van workflows, local lead tactics, and a 3-year forecast—so you can secure funding and start booking jobs fast.
Check your state/local contractor license, general liability/worker’s comp, and EPA RRP requirements for pre-1978 housing. Follow OSHA rules for ladders, scaffolds, and fall protection on exterior work. Always confirm zoning for vehicle signage and yard signs with your city/county.

Get an SBA-aligned structure built for painters—pricing/estimating logic, supplier workflows, review/lead engines, and a defendable 3-year forecast lenders recognize. Ship a professional plan in hours, not weeks.
Offer 2–3 tiers (interior refresh, exterior repaint, full-service) plus add-ons (drywall repair, pressure washing). Break-even = fixed monthly costs ÷ gross margin per job. The model ties jobs to lead flow, close rate, crew utilization, and material/labor ratios to protect margins.
Keep it lender-friendly: executive summary, market analysis, offers & pricing, operations (crews, suppliers, safety), marketing (local SEO & referrals), management, and a 3-year forecast tied to realistic jobs × average ticket × close rate.
Repaint demand tracks home turnover and remodeling cycles. After a cooling period, Harvard’s LIRA points to modest gains in 2025 that support steadier pipelines for exterior and interior jobs. Painter wages have risen alongside tight labor markets, reinforcing the need for precise estimating and utilization. Teams that package maintenance (e.g., annual trim/exterior touch-ups), protect margins with written scopes, and invest in review-driven local SEO tend to stabilize revenue beyond peak seasons.
