A startup business templates bundle that takes you from idea to launch plan
Starting a business means writing a lot of documents you’ve never written before. A bank wants a business plan with financial projections. A designer wants a brand brief. Your marketing needs some kind of plan beyond “post on Instagram”. And before any of that, the business needs a name that isn’t already taken by a company two towns over.
Most founders tackle these one at a time, in a panic, usually the week before something is due. The Startup Launch Bundle lays them out in the right order and gives you professional templates with filled examples for each one. You fill in your details instead of inventing the structure from scratch.
What’s inside
1. Spark & Shingle Business Name Workbook ($6.99 alone)
A good name is easy to say, easy to spell, available as a domain and not already trademarked by someone else. Spark & Shingle walks you through finding one. It starts with word banks across dozens of themes, then teaches 12 naming techniques like compound words, metaphors, invented words and founder names.
Once you have a long list, the shortlist scorecard rates each name on memorability, meaning, length and fit. The availability checklist covers domains, social handles and trademark searches. An Excel scorecard does the maths for you, with a blank copy and an example. The workbook itself is a fillable PDF in US Letter and A4.
2. Stonepath Business Plan Kit ($14.99)
This is the document that banks, investors and funding programmes will ask for. Stonepath gives you a full business plan template in Word, with sections for the executive summary, company description, market analysis, competitors, products and services, marketing, operations, management team and financials. Each section includes prompts that tell you what to write.
The Excel financial projections workbook is where it gets useful. Enter your startup costs, pricing, expected sales and running costs, and it builds a three-year profit and loss forecast, a cash flow projection and a break-even analysis. Those numbers feed straight into the financial section of your plan.
There’s also a one-page plan and a lean canvas for quick pitching, plus a complete example plan for a fictional bakery called Juniper Lane, with its own filled projections.
3. Loudleaf Marketing Plan Template ($22.00)
Customers won’t find you by accident. Loudleaf helps you decide who you’re selling to and how you’ll reach them. The Word marketing plan covers goals, customer personas, a SWOT analysis, positioning, channels, content and budget, with prompts throughout. A filled example for a plant shop shows how it all comes together.
The Excel marketing calendar and budget workbook maps campaigns across twelve months and tracks spending against your budget, with a simple dashboard. There’s also a one-page marketing plan and a campaign brief template for planning individual launches or promotions.
4. Signet Brand Book ($16.00)
A brand book keeps your business looking consistent, whether you’re designing a flyer yourself or hiring a freelancer. Signet is a 37-page brand style guide template covering your story and mission, logo usage rules, colour palette with codes, typography, imagery style and brand voice with do’s and don’ts.
It comes in portrait and landscape, in US Letter and A4, all editable in Word. A filled example for a bakehouse brand shows what a finished brand book looks like.
The right order to work through it
- Week one: Pick your name with Spark & Shingle and secure the domain and social handles.
- Weeks two and three: Write the Stonepath business plan and build your projections. Start with the numbers. They’ll shape everything else.
- Week four: Fill in the Loudleaf marketing plan using the customer and pricing details from your business plan.
- Week five: Complete the Signet brand book and hand it to whoever designs your logo, website or packaging.
In about a month you’ll have a full launch pack: name, plan, projections, marketing calendar and brand rules.
Why plan before you launch
Plenty of businesses start without a written plan, and some do fine. But the numbers in the projections workbook often change minds. Founders discover that their price is too low to cover costs, or that they’ll need three more months of cash than they thought. Finding that out on a spreadsheet costs nothing. Finding it out six months after opening costs a lot.
