The problem
New founders and small organisations waste hours writing business plans, funding applications, internal procedures or HR forms from a blank page.
The solution
A library of editable, annotated templates with filled-in examples and short video guides, sold individually or in packs through an online shop.
Your customers
Would-be founders, freelancers, small businesses, non-profits and business students, wherever people write in the templates' language.
How you make money
9 to 39 € per template, 49 to 99 € per themed pack, custom adaptation billed from 150 €.
Competition
Free templates online, digital template marketplaces, generative AI tools, accountants and incubators supplying their own templates.
Who has an edge
A consultant, accountant or manager who has really used these documents brings credible examples and tips that free templates lack.
The risks
Slow early sales, copying and illegal sharing, competition from AI tools; legal templates need review by a local legal professional.
The first 3 steps
- Identify the ten documents your contacts ask for most
- Create three templates with a filled-in example
- Publish them on an online shop and a professional network
How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €950 − costs €250 = €700 net per month. Revenue: 40 templates × €15 + 3 packs × €70 + 1 customization × €150. Costs: platform fees, advertising, software, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
