What is Inside the Model

Quickly build a financial model / business plan by using our pre-built models with commonly used business drivers and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Dashboard

Forecast your Revenue Precisely

Business owners often find themselves questioning whether a new investment opportunity is worthwhile, whether their business is disproportionately focused on a particular activity which is hurting margins or when the business will be short of cash. All these paralyzing decisions are best enabled by the three financial statements i.e. balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement respectively. These give an overall assessment of your business activities from a financial perspective and are included in the Standard Model.

Furthermore, the Common Size statement and Group Analysis sheets provide a comprehensive overview on the financial health of your business.

Estimate Cost of doing Business

The model has sheets for calculating Operating Expenditures (Opex) i.e. the cost of running business which is inclusive of admin overheads, sales and marketing expenses, tech expenses and so on. Another sheet for Capital expenditures (Capex) for tangible assets such as equipment, building, machinery, etc. and intangible assets such as software or patents. It also includes a sheet for calculation and maintenance of payroll data.

A separate sheet for capital financing is also included in the model. It includes short-term and long-term debt financing as well as equity financing.

First add the Standard Model to your cart and then browse through the Category models listed in Products section. After purchase, once you add the Category model Sheet to Standard Model, you are good to build a Financial Model for your business.

Go to the Product menu and look for Financial models listed against your required Category. The Product page will give details about what the Category model comprises including a gist of the Revenue and Cost drivers, as well as key Category metrics and Dashboard. The Category model can be upgraded by purchasing Standard Model that includes Pre-built structure of financial statements and Supporting Schedules. Then you simply link the revenue and cost driver numbers into the Standard Model.

A Category Business metrics Sheet and Dashboard are provided which automatically responds to Model Inputs.

You need to link the Revenue and Cost of Sales/ Cost of Service summary table from Category Model into Profit and Lost statement of Standard Model. Follow the Comments within the Sheets to do this.

It usually takes less than an hour to go through all of the sheets, and once you have the basic information, it takes much less time to adjust the inputs to create a set of forecasts that makes sense for your business. In Category Models, generally, growth rates corresponding to different Revenue and Cost of Sales/ Service drivers need to be input by the User. In some instances, Gross margin percentages might need to be input. Once all necessary inputs are made, the Model responds to the inputs and reflects in the KPI Dashboards.
