Business Model Canvas
Online Services Marketplace Business Model Canvas
You're building an online services marketplace connecting US small businesses and vetted freelancers; this Business Model Canvas maps that model clearly. It lays out customer segments, value propositions, revenue streams (commission + fixed fees + subscriptions + a‑la‑carte), key activities, resources, and cost drivers so you can test pricing and pitch faster. One page for strategic clarity.
What is included in the product
The Word template provides a detailed, editable Business Model Canvas with narrative explanations for all nine sections, tailored prompts for an online services marketplace, and guidance for revenue and cost assumptions.
The Excel template offers a one‑page, editable overview with structured fields for assumptions, revenue line items, cost drivers, and a snapshot for investor or team review.

Fully Editable & Customizable
The Word and Excel files are fully editable so you can adapt every field to your marketplace specifics: pricing tiers, take rates, subscription features, and onboarding flows. Change labels, numbers, and layout to match your go‑to‑market and metrics. Customize freely.
Structured & Easy-to-Use Layout
The canvas separates all nine building blocks with clear headings and prompts so you won't miss key tradeoffs: channels, relationships, resources, partnerships, activities, costs, and revenues. Each section guides answers that matter for execution and investor review. Logical, stepwise flow.
Revenue & Cost Analysis
The template highlights core revenue levers and cost items for a marketplace: commission plus fixed fee per transaction, seller and buyer subscriptions, promoted listings, payment processing fees, hosting, and personnel. Use the tables to model take rates, churn, and break‑even scenarios quickly. Crunch numbers fast.
Customer & Market Segmentation
The canvas helps you define primary customers: US SMBs, startups, entrepreneurs, and independent freelancers, plus secondary groups like agencies. It prompts segmentation by need, budget, and project size so you can tailor pricing tiers, marketing, and onboarding. Targeted segments drive better acquisition.
Key Partnerships & Resources Mapping
The template prompts you to list essential partners and resources without naming vendors: payment gateways, cloud hosting, software integrations, industry partners, and upskilling providers. It also maps core tech, data, and team capabilities required to run a two‑sided marketplace. Clear partner roles.
One-Page Business Model Overview
The Excel overview condenses your full canvas into a single page snapshot suitable for quick reviews and investor meetings; key numbers, top segments, and primary revenue lines appear side‑by‑side. Use it as a pitch slide or a one‑page strategy. Quick, clear summary.
Time-Saving Business Planning Tool
This template shortens setup time by providing pre‑written content, prompts, and a ready structure so you skip formatting and jump to strategy and validation. Populate your numbers, run scenarios, and prepare a pitch much faster than building from scratch. Save hours, start testing.
Presentation-Ready Format
The Word narrative and Excel snapshot are formatted for investor meetings, client briefings, or internal reviews with clean headings and concise language. Swap in your logo, adjust fonts, and export slides or PDFs for polished deliverables. Professional look, no design skills needed.
