posted Nov 28, 2017, 7:34 AM by Tom Pedersen   [ updated May 8, 2019, 5:02 AM ]
An updated collection of business planning Google Docs & templates.   Current collection includes Google Doc versions of MS Office templates from US Small Business Administration, SCORE.org, Business.gov.au and a number of interesting business planning resource sites.   Hopefully useful to others, Comments/suggestions always welcome, Revision history and conversion notes/experience can be found HERE.

You will need a google account to access/use the docs, sheets and templates on this page.  Login with your gmail or G Suite credentials.  

Most of the gdoc templates on this page are 'View Only' - to use:  please create a copy (Menu -> File -> Make a copy ...) and save to your own google drive.  Please DO NOT 'Request Access' to the templates.

My original collection (circa 2011) from www.sba.gov and Businessmodelgeneration.com (useful book, btw).

 Drawings Template - Business Model Canvas By Ian Broom
Rating: 4.86 out of 5

A highly usable business model canvas with sticky notes based on http://www.scrumology.net/2011/06/07/how-to-create-a-business-model-canvas-in-google-docs/ and extended by: 1. grouping items so they are easier to drag around 2. adding text boxes so that you can type on the canvas, name, date, etc areas, or use sticky notes (they are quite large) - just double click on the sticky note or on a section of the canvas to add text 3. added text boxes to the sticky notes and reduced their size - drag then press 'ctrl' when you release to duplicate a sticky note 4. Added tips on how to use the sticky notes - delete them once you've read them 5. Tweaked the font sizes
