✔️ For you if:
- Your systems currently live in your head, and you don't know how to extract or organize them,

What template buyers say
I just want to let you know how much I love my small business manual!! You are brilliant, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love it so much! I did mine once before but it was confused. This one is perfect.
It is a lot of work to structure a business so having this base help me gain a lot of time. Thank you!
Great product, I've been tweaking it and we'll roll it out to our 3 branches in the province soon.
Every business owner must have an operations manual.
I've been reading and customizing my manual on Notion. It's very extensive and very well-crafted!
I was looking for something like this after I read the E-myth, didn't expect it to be this good but it surprised me. Thanks a lot!
I like the logical flow of the templates. It is the framework that I was looking for.
Super clean and not "overdone". Can tell real thought went into the functionality of it.
Rather have it built for you?
We interview you and your team through structured working sessions, then build your SOPs and complete Operations Manual in Notion around how your business actually runs. Most projects are completed in 8 weeks or less.
Template FAQs
Is this a subscription or a one-time cost?
Not a subscription. One-time fee, lifetime access to the template.
Do I need to know Notion to use this?
No. If you can use a website, you can use this: click into a section, read it, edit the text. No Notion experience required.
You'll also get a free, step-by-step roadmap on how to tailor it, and a short video library covering Notion basics.
Can I customize it to match exactly how my business runs?
Yes! That's what we want you to do. Every section and SOP is fully editable in Notion. This template gives you the structure and starting content to shape into your own.
Is Notion itself free for a small team, or does a paid Notion plan become necessary at some team size?
Notion is free for teams of 10 or fewer; for larger teams, it's $12/month total (not per user) on their Plus plan. Your team is added as guests to your manual, not as full members of your Notion workspace, which is why the cost stays flat rather than scaling per person.
What happens during the free 30-minute call?
We'll walk you through the template, review your current SOP setup, answer your questions, and guide you on tailoring the template to your business.
How do I get my template after I buy it?
You'll receive an email with a PDF download link. Inside the PDF is your unique Notion template link. If it hasn't arrived within 5 minutes, please check your spam folder.
What if it's not the right fit for us?
We offer a no-questions-asked 7-day full refund policy.
