Business Templates for Google Sheets

This section collects free Google Sheets templates for running a business from a spreadsheet: sending invoices, keeping the books, counting stock, logging hours and following up on leads. Every template is a plain .xlsx file you download in one click and open in Google Sheets, Excel or LibreOffice — no sign-up, no trial, no per-seat pricing.

Google Sheets templates for small business owners

Most of these sheets are sized for freelancers, side businesses and small teams — the stage where dedicated software costs more than it saves. A well-built spreadsheet handles invoicing, bookkeeping or a sales pipeline for years; when the volume finally outgrows the grid, your data is already in rows and columns, ready to export anywhere.

Invoice templates and billing trackers

The invoicing templates cover both halves of getting paid: an invoice layout with line items, quantities, tax and totals computed for you, ready to fill in and send as a PDF — and a billing tracker that lists every invoice you issue, so one glance shows what is paid, what is pending and what is overdue.

Accounting, bookkeeping and inventory spreadsheets

For the record-keeping side there are simple ledgers and income-and-expense sheets that total by category and month, built for people who are not accountants. The inventory spreadsheets track what comes in, what goes out and what is left on the shelf, with running stock counts you can check against reality.

Time sheets, CRM and sales tracking

Time sheet templates log hours per person, day and project, and add them up by pay period. On the sales side, a lightweight CRM in spreadsheet form keeps contacts, pipeline stages and next follow-ups in one tab — enough structure to stop deals from slipping, without the overhead of a real CRM platform.

How to choose a business template for Google Sheets

Pick by the task, not by ambition: one sheet that does one job well beats a twelve-tab mega-workbook nobody maintains. Check that the columns match what you actually record — and delete the ones you don't use; the formulas in these templates are written to survive edits. Personal money matters live in the personal finance templates section, and if you have never opened an .xlsx in Google Sheets, this short guide shows the three ways to do it.
