Sample Business Plans

The Arkansas SBDC Network's Research Center maintains a collection of over 640 sample business plans for the benefit of Arkansas entrepreneurs, small businesses, educators, students, and other library visitors. Business plans are available at all ASBDC locations throughout the state. The most comprehensive collection of business plans is located in the Little Rock Research Center.

Some of the sample business plans in our collection, as with other library materials, are protected by copyright law. No duplication or reproduction of these documents is permitted. The ASBDC reserves the right to deny requests that exceed educational fair use guidelines.

How to Access Library Copies of Sample Business Plans:

• Arkansas: Arkansas residents may access a library copy of our sample business plans by contacting their servicing ASBDC office.

• Out-of-state: As the Arkansas SBDC serves only Arkansas residents and is unable to respond to individual requests, out-of-state visitors should inquire about access to these and/or similar business plans at their nearest SBDC.

• Other State SBDCs: SBDCs may request sample business plans from the SBDC National Information Clearinghouse (SBDCNET).

A free sample business plan outline is available.
