Runway Became Easier To See
The cash-flow forecast showed me where the shortfalls would hit, so I could plan funding earlier instead of guessing. It made a 12-month runway review much clearer for our next lender call.

I used to spend evenings building projections from scratch, but this template cut the work down to one afternoon. That saved me about 8 hours and let me focus on pricing and bookings instead.
I was always nervous one bad cell would throw off the whole model, but this file stayed clean and easy to check. That gave me confidence to share the numbers with my partner without redoing everything.
This is an editable five-year Excel workbook for modelling seller and buyer acquisitions, market orders, commissions, subscriptions, costs, cash flow and financial statements.
Use it to translate the seller's and buyer's separate acquisition plans into monthly market activity, revenue, costs, employment, cash needs and financial results.
You publish the acquisition budgets, CAC, levels mixes, usage time, purchaser order maintenance, AOV, commissions, subscriptions, additions, costs and operational assumptions; the linked reports are updated with these entries.
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, converts active buyers' cohorts into orders and GMV, calculates commissions, and then adds subscriptions and enables additional sellers.
New sellers and buyers have equal separate purchasing budgets divided by their CAC, using monthly seasonality.
Identify the sellers and buyers in their level mixes and hold each cohort for the life of the level.
Purchasers' contracts shall combine initial orders from new buyers with recurring orders from eligible active cohorts.
GMV is equal to orders multiplied by the buyer's AOV level; commissions apply a withdrawal rate plus a fixed order fee.
The monthly revenues add to the revenues of the commission, the seller's and buyer's subscriptions and the seller's additional entitlements.
The revenue display combines the separate assumptions regarding the seller's and the buyer's acquisition with the buyer's activity, GMV, commissions, subscriptions and triggered supplements of the seller.
Revenue
Worksheet COGS & OPEX separates direct costs, Variable operating expenses and fixed costs so that the cost assumptions remain visible alongside forecast.
COGS & OPEX
The scenario compares the low, basic and high levels for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA over the forecast period of five years.
Scenarios
The Dashboard combines model configuration, scenario management, a mix of revenue, profitability, core finance, cash flow and return on investment in one management view.
Dashboard
It is divided into a two-way market with groups of sellers and buyers; structural contract work is more appropriate where the operational logic differs significantly.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Model Laboratory may build or adapt the model where different revenue logic, operational schedules or prepared template financial reporting is required.

It converts separate seller and buyer acquisitions into active buyer orders, GMV, commissions, subscriptions and enabled additional sellers. GMV alone is not revenue.
Purchasing budgets and seasonality, CAC, levels and lifecycle mixes, repeat orders, AOV, rates, standing commissions, subscription fees and additional seller fees may be changed.
A comparison can be made of how the alternative assumptions change revenue, gross margins, contribution margins and EBITDA over the five-year period of forecast.
The product presents the income statement, the cash flow report, the balance sheet, the dashboard, the summary and additional views on the financial analysis.
