Bplans (bplans.com): One of the most comprehensive online resources on business plans, it has several useful sections that tell you everything from how to write out a business plan to how to pitch a business idea and secure funding to doing complex financial calculations. With free and paid sections, blogs, videos and sections that allow users to network with others, this site offers a holistic mix of usable information to its readers.

Center for Business Planning (businessplans.org): Apart from offering services like the ones offered by Bplans, this site is an excellent aggregator of some very good online resources. 
My Own Business (myownbusiness.org): This is largely a paid tutorial site that offers several features and tools on starting a business and a section on business plans is just one of the several sections on the portal that offer a step-by-step course on starting a business.

Funded Plans (fundedplans.com): This site is managed by an organization that offers paid services that help you make a business plan and secure funding for the same, claiming that over three-quarters of the plans they helped make received partial or total funding and that over nine-tenths of such funded businesses are still in operation. The only sore point is that the site is primarily relevant to US-based businesses.

Business Plan Archive (businessplanarchive.org): Set up in 2002, this was a public repository for business plans till 2007, when it became a non-commercial, academic-research-oriented resource. So, if you are a business school academic and want access to some of the finest business plans for your research, you have to submit a proposal on the basis of whose merit you will be granted access to the contents of the site. Conversely, you can also submit cutting-edge content you might have had access to.
