How to choose the right business plan template

Every business plan starts at a different stage. Match the kit to the stage you are in today.

  • Still testing the idea: the Business Launch Planner is a fillable startup planner PDF with an Excel calculator for startup costs, pricing and cash flow.
  • Ready to write the plan: the Clarity Business Plan Kit gives you a business plan template for Word and Google Docs, plus an Excel financial forecast.
  • Need numbers a lender will read: the 3-Statement Financial Model and Dashboard Kit works in Excel and Google Sheets.
  • Planning a property project: the Multifamily Apartment Development Plan is set in the US Sunbelt.

Here is a simple rule. If you plan to borrow or raise money, pair a written plan with a proper financial model, because the people reading it will go straight to the numbers. If you are funding the business yourself, the launch planner may be all you need to decide whether the idea pays.

Think about the software as well. The Clarity kit opens in Word or Google Docs, and the financial model runs in Excel or Google Sheets. If you only have a browser and a free Google account, those two will both work for you.

What you get with these business plan templates

Each kit pairs a written document with a working spreadsheet. You write the story of the business, and the spreadsheet handles the arithmetic behind it.

The Clarity kit gives you the plan document plus a financial forecast in Excel. The Business Launch Planner comes in US Letter and A4, so it prints cleanly wherever you are, and its Excel side works out startup costs, pricing and cash flow before you spend a cent. The 3-statement kit adds a dashboard on top of the three financial statements, which helps when you present the plan to someone else.
