About BPlanMaker — industry-specific business plan templates for U.S. entrepreneurs

About BPlanMaker

BPlanMaker is a U.S-based, digital-only shop focused on one thing: giving entrepreneurs industry-specific business plan templates that look and read like a real, lender-ready plan — without hiring a $1,000+ consultant or starting from a blank page.

Every download is a fully written business plan in Word and PDF, built around the same structure banks, SBA programs, and serious investors expect to see. You simply choose the template that matches your industry, personalize the narrative, plug in your numbers, and export a clean, professional PDF.

Our mission is to save you time, reduce stress, and provide a realistic, lender-style roadmap so you can launch, expand, or refinance your business with confidence.

How our business plan templates are built

Each BPlanMaker template is modeled after real-world businesses and follows a consistent, bank-ready framework:

  • Real operations, not theory: we start with how that industry actually works day-to-day — staffing, pricing, demand patterns, and compliance requirements.
  • SBA-aligned structure: sections such as Executive Summary, Company & Market, Products & Services, Marketing, Operations, Management, and Financials are arranged in the order lenders recognize.
  • Three-year financial model: each template includes a built-in 3-year forecast you can edit with your own startup costs, revenue assumptions, and payroll.
  • Plain-English editing: we write in clear, professional language so you can customize your plan in hours instead of weeks.
  • Designed for modern review: the layout is easy to skim on screen or as a PDF, which helps loan officers, landlords, and investors review your plan quickly.

Why entrepreneurs choose BPlanMaker

  • Industry-specific business plan templates: options for restaurants, auto repair, healthcare, retail, services, entertainment, e-commerce, and more.
  • Fully editable files: every plan includes Word and PDF versions, so you stay in control of your story and financials.
  • Bank-ready format: structured for SBA 7(a) and 504 loan packages, traditional bank loans, and landlord approval packages.
  • Built-in 3-year financials: projections are laid out in an easy-to-follow format for lenders and investors.
  • One-time purchase: no subscriptions or recurring fees — you download it once and reuse or update as your business grows.

How our business plan templates are created

Every BPlanMaker template goes through a structured, lender-focused development process:

  1. Scott and Emily review U.S. industry data, SBA guidance, and lender expectations for the specific business type.
  2. Jason drafts the narrative structure and instructional notes, organizing content the way underwriters and investors read plans.
  3. Emily builds the 3-year financial forecast, stress-testing key assumptions for realism and cash-flow strength.
  4. The team cross-checks each section for clarity, completeness, and SBA alignment before the template is added to the library.

Templates are reviewed and refreshed regularly to reflect current U.S. market conditions and lending standards.
