Small business is an important segment of the economy of the state. However, today, there remains a number of problems in the effective functioning of small business organizations, including the lack of adequate tools for information processing, necessary to justify their development strategy. The article presents a solution to the task of developing functional requirements for an application that automates the process of forming a business model of small business organizations. The set of developed requirements is represented by a set of diagrams "Use Case Diagram", built using the unified modeling language UML. It is shown, that the business model is the main source of data for calculating the efficiency indicators of business ideas, capital investments, incomes and expenses. As a basic approach to the development of the business model, the template proposed by A. Osterwalder was chosen, which was supplemented with the "Competitors analysis" block. Thus, the improved business model template will include the following processes: "Project Value Proposal", "Design Consumer Segments", "Design Sales Channels", "Design Customer Relationship Technologies", "Design Processes", "Design Resources", "Design partners", "Analyze suppliers". Among the blocks of the business model template, the key one ("Distribution channels") is provided, which includes the calculation of revenues and expenditures, performance indicators for each sales channel, and their consolidated representation in the overall business model
