Written Business Model Canvas in Word

Customizable Excel Spreadsheet
The Excel file contains a high-level, editable one-page Business Model Canvas for quick overviews, scenario comparisons, and team collaboration with cells ready for numeric inputs and notes.
Instant Download & Easy Setup
The Business Model Canvas is instantly accessible after purchase. Open the Word and Excel files immediately-no setup, no plugins-so you can start mapping products, channels, and partnerships right away.
Fully Editable & Customizable
Every section is editable in both Word and Excel so you can adapt assumptions, wording, and numbers. Change customer segments, revenue lines, and cost items to match your local market and regulatory setup.
Structured & Easy-to-Use Layout
The template presents the nine Business Model Canvas blocks in a clear, logical order for community banking: partners, activities, resources, value, relationships, channels, segments, cost, and revenue. Sections are separated for fast completion and team collaboration.
Revenue & Cost Analysis
The canvas helps you list net interest income drivers and non-interest fees, and map major cost buckets like personnel, branches, and technology. Use the prompts to compare interest spread scenarios and fee mixes for short-term planning.
Customer & Market Segmentation
The template guides you to segment small-to-medium businesses, local entrepreneurs, families, and community supporters. It helps prioritize segments for lending, deposits, and advisory services with space for key metrics and needs.
Key Partnerships & Resources Mapping
Use the canvas to list referral partners, community organizations, fintech providers, and core operational resources like charter and deposit insurance. The prompts focus your partnership strategy for origination, digital delivery, and community programs.
One-Page Business Model Overview
The Excel overview condenses your full model into a single page for quick reviews and internal meetings. It's ideal for loan committees, community boards, and investors who need a snapshot of strategy and financial levers.
Time-Saving Business Planning Tool
This template cuts hours from plan-building by providing pre-written prompts, examples, and layout. Jump into strategy, testing, and community validation instead of formatting and structuring your canvas from scratch.
Presentation-Ready Format
The design is clean and professional for investor pitches, local presentations, and internal updates. Sections are formatted for slide export, printing, or copying into investor decks while keeping narrative clarity.
