Running a small business from home is so much fun, but keeping track of everything? Not so much! Orders, supplies, sales, social media posts… it adds up fast.
A good printable planner puts it all in one place, so you can stop scribbling notes on sticky pads (I’ve been there!).
I picked 10 printable small business planners: big all-in-one planners, editable Canva templates, client and project planners and a simple order tracker.
You can download any of them free as part of your first 10 free downloads with a Creative Fabrica free trial.

What to Look For in a Small Business Planner
- Order tracker: who ordered what, and when it ships.
- Income and expense logs: so tax time isn’t a scramble.
- Inventory and supplies: know when you’re running low on vinyl or blanks.
- Goals and monthly reviews: to see what’s actually working.
- Social media planner: plan your posts a week ahead.
How to Print and Use Your Business Planner
- Print only the pages you need. Most of these planners have 20 to 100+ pages, and you probably won’t use all of them.
- Print on regular printer paper at Actual size / 100%, or A5 if you want a smaller binder.
- Hole-punch the pages and keep them in a ring binder, so you can add new order sheets each month.
- Canva templates can be edited first: add your shop name, logo and colors, then print or use them on your tablet.
