Plastic Injection Molding Business Plan Template – Instant Download

Starting or expanding an injection molding company is capital-intensive—presses, tooling, QC, and skilled operators. Lenders and partners want proof you can quote accurately, manage cycle times, and fill capacity. This SBA-aligned plan (editable in Word & PDF) gives you that structure in a lender-friendly format.

Built for custom molders, captive manufacturers, and high-volume programs, it covers RFQ pipelines, PPAP/FAI, ISO workflows, resin sourcing, and production scheduling. You’ll present a credible use-of-funds, model utilization by press tonnage, and show a 3-year forecast tied to throughput and margins.

Instant download. Fully editable. Investor-ready in hours—not weeks.

Why Choose This Business Plan

Consultants can cost $700+ and still lean on your inputs. This template delivers the lender-style format, quoting logic, and capacity model lenders expect—so underwriting moves faster, RFQ responses sharpen, and you stay focused on hitting cycle time and OEE targets.

  • Risk: resin volatility → Mitigation: index-linked quotes, safety stock bands, multi-sourcing.
  • Risk: low utilization → Mitigation: tiered pricing, bridge runs, setup-time reduction, preventive maintenance.
  • Risk: quality rejects → Mitigation: SPC checks, first-article sign-offs, calibration intervals, training.

Pricing & Costs / Break-Even

Quote tooling and part pricing separately. Model setup/changeover minutes, scrap allowances, QC time, and energy. Break-even = fixed costs ÷ gross margin per press hour. The template lets you adjust cavity count, cycle time, yields, and labor to defend margins from prototype through production.

How do I write an injection molding business plan?

Clarify target niches, list press tonnages and secondary ops, map QC (PPAP/FAI, ISO), outline RFQ→production workflow, and include a 3-year forecast tied to press hours, cycle time, yields, and resin/energy costs. Add a realistic build-out and staffing timeline.

What should my injection molding pricing include?

Tiered quotes (prototype/bridge/production), tooling amortization options, setup fees, material surcharges, and expedited charges. Use utilization targets and preventive maintenance to protect margins across shifts.
