About This Course

A coffee shop business plan is more than a document you hand to a bank — it's the thinking behind your entire operation. The shops that take this seriously before opening are the ones that survive the first year.

This course walks you through every section of a fundable business plan, with real examples from successful indie shops. You'll also get our free downloadable template, which has been used by hundreds of owners to secure SBA loans, investor funding, and commercial leases.

What lenders actually want to see

Most first-time owners submit business plans that are long on vision and short on numbers. Lenders don't fund passion — they fund cash flow projections, break-even analysis, and evidence that you understand your market. This course teaches you to speak their language.
