Cleaner Assumptions, Faster Planning
The template put pricing, operating costs, and growth assumptions in one place, so the model finally felt organized. I stopped second-guessing my numbers and could review the full setup in one sitting.

I was able to skip the manual spreadsheet build and move straight into planning. What looked like a full-day task became about two hours of work, which made client prep much easier.
The break-even and margin view made it simple to spot where the business actually earns money. I got clearer on profitability before my meeting, and that saved me from presenting weak numbers.
This is an editable five-year Excel workbook combining bilateral acquisition factors and market transactions with monthly and annual financial forecasts.
A plan to acquire seller and buyer, hold a cohort, repeat orders, GMV, commission fees, subscription, operating expenses, employment and capital needs in one forecast.
The editable assumptions flow through the model to the financial statements, scenario analyses, dashboard and management reports.
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, withholds each group, converts active buyers into orders and GMV, and then adds the seller's commissions, subscriptions and supplements.
Separate marketing budgets divided by seller and buyer of CAC create new entrants each month.
Mixtures of levels, lifespan and starting number determine the active cohorts of sellers and buyers.
Orders from new buyers and the frequency of recurrences from eligible active cohorts shall determine the volume of the buyer's order.
Orders and AOV constitute GMV, while fixed and fixed fees calculate the commission revenue.
Add commission revenue, seller's subscriptions, buyer's subscriptions and additional entitlements from the seller each month.
Worksheet revenue separates seller and buyer acquisitions, cohort retention, buyer order retention, transaction economics, subscriptions and additional products from the seller.
Revenue
Worksheet COGS & OPEX separates direct, variable and recurring fixed expenses with editable time and cost assumptions.
COGS & OPEX
In view of the scenarios, Low, Base, and High trajectories in the range of revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA within the five-year range of forecast are compared.
Scenarios
You can use the dashboard to view model settings, scenario multipliers, key metrics, mix of revenue, profitability, cash flow and payback period of investments in one place.
Dashboard
It is shared with bilateral markets which acquire sellers and buyers separately; substantially different rental owners, revenue logic or reporting may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Model Laboratory may construct or adapt the model where it needs a different revenue logic, operational timetable or reporting than that provided for in this template.

The basic answers are visible in their entirety, without the need to click on the accordion.
It calculates the purchaser's orders and GMV and then applies interest and fixed commissions to the transaction. The seller's and buyer's subscriptions and the seller's eligible allowances are added to the commission revenue.
You can edit separate seller and buyer acquisition budgets and seasonality, CAC, mix of levels, usage time, starting numbers, repeat order frequency, and AOV. You can also change the acceptance rate, fixed commission, subscription fees, and additional seller fees.
In view of the scenarios, comparisons are made of the Low, Base, and High revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA under the five-year forecast.
The product presents the projected income statement, cash flow, balance sheet, dashboard, scenarios, summary, estimate, balance sheet, ROIC, charts, KPIs, indicators, highest revenue, highest expenditure, sources and use of funds and DuPont reports.
