Axe Throwing Business Plan Template – SBA-Ready & Investor-Approved

Launch your axe throwing venue with a fully editable axe throwing business plan template that follows the SBA-compliant format lenders expect. Designed for U.S. SBA loans, bank funding, and investor presentations without $700+ consultant fees. Connects lane utilization, pricing, staffing, deposits, and safety SOPs into one lender-friendly document.

Instead of starting from scratch, get a complete plan with lender-ready wording, lane-utilization math, and a built-in three-year forecast. Covers deposits, no-show policies, safety procedures, insurance, and staffing ratios in logical order. Just plug in your local lease, lane count, pricing, and payroll to produce a polished SBA-ready plan in hours.

Key Numbers to Prove

  • Lane plan: commonly 6–10 lanes with baseline 4 throwers per lane.
  • Session timing: 75–90 minutes plus 10–15 minute turnover per group.
  • Coach coverage: 1 coach per 2 lanes; tighten to 1:1 for beginner-heavy groups.
  • Deposits & no-shows: collect for peak blocks; target ≤5% no-show rate.
  • Weekday lift: corporate events and leagues stabilize utilization and payroll.

Shows how leagues, private parties, and corporate events fill weekdays, protect peak blocks, and reach break-even lanes per hour without burnout-level staffing.

What’s Inside the Business Plan Template

  • Executive Summary: One-page overview for lenders; drop in city, lane count, funding request, revenue narrative.

  • Market Analysis: Identify ideal throwers, local opportunity, competitors, demographics, positioning.
  • Operations Plan: Typical visits, waivers, safety briefings, scoring, lane resets, cleaning, incidents.
  • Marketing Strategy: Fill lanes via leagues, birthday parties, bachelor/ette groups, partnerships, social/email/SMS campaigns.
  • Management & Staffing: Owner/operator, partners, coaching team, hiring, training, scheduling, accountability.
  • Financial Forecasts: Three-year forecast integrating lanes, pricing, utilization, payroll, rent, insurance, deposits, revenue, profit, and cash flow.
