Your Business Plan Template
For the artists, the makers, the visionaries – this one’s for you.
At Inspiring Design Studios, we’ve created a Business Plan Template that’s more than just paperwork – it’s a creative blueprint for your dreams. Whether you’re applying for funding, building a portfolio, or planning your next big move, this tool helps you map it all out clearly and confidently.
Originally designed for our web design clients, this is the same format we’ve used to secure funding for our own kaupapa. We’ve taken inspiration from over 30+ templates and refined it into one flexible, easy-to-use format that actually speaks to the creative process.
Why it works for creatives:
Vision-led – Helps you articulate your story, goals, and offerings with clarity.
Customisable on Canva – Upload your own designs, logos, and artwork to truly make it yours.
Funding-ready – Whether you're applying for a grant, residency, or a creative programme, this format presents your work professionally.
Reusable + Reflective – Revisit it annually to refine your vision and track growth.
What’s inside:
A guided plan with sections to define your mission, audience, financial goals, and creative vision.
Prompts to help you stay focused on both purpose and sustainability.
A Canva link so you can edit, brand, and personalise every page—fonts, colours, visuals—your way.
This is more than a business plan. It’s a creative roadmap.
Start with clarity. Design with purpose. Grow with intention.
