Business Plan Template for 2023 (Download)

Please take 4 minutes to watch this video and learn how our templates will help you write the first draft of your business plan in less than 24 hours.

Reason #1 – A Fully-Written Business Plan

A good business plan template such as the one we provide is not just an outline with tips for what to include in each section. Instead, it is a document that not only includes all the required business plan elements, but also is already written using generic information.

For example, instead of this:

You get this:

The first example gives you instructions, like a good book would; the second actually has the content written and only needs to be customized to your business.

See the difference?  One gives you an idea of what to write; the other does the writing for you. You only need to change the details.  This feature alone will save you many hours of writing and editing.

Reason #2 – Uses Microsoft Office – No Software to Install

The Planigent template uses standard Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. There is no need to purchase, download, or learn additional software.

There is nothing to export to Microsoft Office, because the plan is already in Microsoft Office! You also won’t need to worry that your plan looks and reads like tens of thousands of others that were put together using over-distributed business plan software.

Thank you for saving me a ton of time.  Your template is very well done.

Reason #3 – Full set of Formatted Financial Statements

Our financial statements are constructed in Excel, and like the written plan, they are fully customizable. All the formulas are done for you. However, if you want to change something, the spreadsheet is yours so have at it.

You enter your numbers in a simple input sheet such as this:

As you can see, instructions are provided every step of the way, and even let you know where in the financial statements the inputs will appear.

Once you have completed your inputs, your financial statements are complete and look like this:

Reason #4 – The Financial Template Includes Colorful Charts

There is a tab within the Excel financial template that includes pre-formatted charts that you can copy and paste into your document or into your business plan pitch deck. There are ten in all.

The charts provide a powerful visual representation of your business’s key performance indicators (KPI). They include Net Sales, Head Count, Net Income, Quarterly Cash Flow, Retained Earnings, Stockholders’ Equity, Advertising Expense, Research & Development, Distributions to Shareholders, and Inventory.

All are linked directly to the financial statements in the spreadsheet, so once you have completed your financial data input, the charts are complete just as are the financial statements.

Here are some samples:

Reason #5 – A Pre-written and Pre-formatted PowerPoint Deck is Included

Some situations – or presentations of your business plan – require something beyond a cleanly printed document with neat financial statements. In those cases, a PowerPoint presentation is essential.  PowerPoint allows for a more engaging graphical presentation. It will also enable you to present to a group of interested parties in a room with a projector.

The PowerPoint template we provide, like its sister Word file, is completely formatted and organized to mirror the flow of your business plan. It only needs you to customize it with your facts and figures.

Reason #6 – The Planigent Business Plan Template Comes with a List of Helpful Links for Your Market and Industry Research

One of the most time-consuming tasks when writing a business plan is the research needed to describe your industry and market.  If you don’t know where to go to get the data – trust us – you will spend hours conducting internet searches that yield little.

We have done much of that leg work for you. Our Market and Industry Research tool will save you hours of searching for the right data to support your business plan.  It includes nearly thirty different web sites that are packed with information about industries, companies, markets and market research.

Reason #7 – The Planigent Business Plan Template Checks All the Boxes

The Planigent Business Plan Template includes everything you need to inform and impress bankers, investors, advisers and sharks.  The template exceeds the requirements for those looking to obtain Small Business Administration loans.

When seeking funding, it is absolutely imperative that you put your best foot forward when presenting your business plan. It is not a time to sling something together without the proper format.

With the Planigent Business Plan Template, the organization, format, writing, and polish are all in place from the beginning. We know business plans, you know your business. Together, we will make the finished product one that will wow your readers.

I also wanted to tell you that the template was very easy to use, well worth the money especially when I had YOUR help at 8pm on a Saturday night. That type of service is invaluable to me and I am sure all customers. Thanks again for a great product and exceptional service. ”
