Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present a methodology for creating a digital repository of business model templates "Canvas BM". The published repository contains a collection of 265 one-page business model templates (canvas) that professionals can use to create, analyze and modify both the templates themselves and the business models developed from them. Design/Methodology/Approach: A four-step model was developed to create the repository. The created card-type database as a repository was registered in the open universal repository Zenodo. Findings: An architectural diversity of templates was identified, which were developed as variants or adaptations of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) reference model created by A. Osterwalder. Each template available in the public repository "Canvas BM" is single-page and features a unique information architecture. Practical Implications: The topic repository should be viewed as a business guide to help select appropriate business model design tools for specific organizations, as well as in the process of creating, analyzing and modifying business model templates. The digital repository of business model templates can be applied in either academic, research, educational and individual contexts, and can also be useful in business practice. Originality/Value: A digital repository of business model templates, contains a collection of diverse documents, providing the largest template database to continue analyzing existing templates, and at the same time can inspire the creation, analysis and modification of new, innovative and unique business model templates.
