About this template

Most small business owners never write a plan because the usual template is forty pages long. This one fits on a single sheet. If a box is hard to fill in, that is the decision to work on first.

When you need the long-form plan for a lender, investor or partner, the Business Plan & Pitch Deck Template Pack expands each box into a full section and matching slide.

These are planning templates and general information, not accounting, tax, legal or investment advice. Work with a licensed accountant or bookkeeper for your actual financial statements, filings and tax questions.
