Saved Hours on Forecasting

Megan Carter, NY

5 star rating

I stopped spending afternoons building marketplace financials by hand. This template gave me a working model fast, and I had cleaner numbers ready for a planning call the same day.

Clear Cases Without The Guesswork

Dylan Brooks, TX

5 star rating

I used to drag out low, base, and high cases for every update. Here the assumptions are already organized, so I could compare scenarios in minutes and walk into the meeting with clearer answers.

A Better Place To Start

4 star rating

Starting from a blank sheet always felt like the hardest part. This template gave me a solid structure right away, and I had a first draft I could actually build on instead of staring at an empty workbook.

Model review

What is the financial model of the e-commerce market?

The editable five-year Market workbook combines seller and buyer acquisition, transaction economics, operating expenses, scenarios and integrated financial statements.

Plan a two-way market by changing assumptions about acquisition, level, orders, prices, commissions, subscriptions, and seller service instead of reconstructing the formulas.

Editable operational contributions shall flow through monthly calculations into revenue, costs, cash flow, profitability, scenarios and management reports over the five-year forecast.

GMV shall remain separate The gross value of goods is a measure of the size of the transaction; market revenue comes from the commission, subscriptions and supplements of the sellers.
Two-way revenue engine on the market

How does the e-commerce market calculate revenue?

The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, builds buyers' orders and GMV by level, and then monetizes seller's transactions, subscriptions and supplements on a monthly basis.

01

Get both sides

The budgets of the seller and the buyer are allocated according to their own CAC, with separate monthly seasonality.

02

Level and maintenance

New users are allocated according to the level of the seller and the level of the buyer and are retained for the life of each level.

03

Build Buyer Orders

Contracts shall combine the activity of new buyers with recurring orders from the level-by-level qualifying active buyers' quota.

04

Monetization activity

Orders shall form GMV at the level of AOV and the commissions shall be added to the income with a receipt tax and a flat fee.

05

Total revenue

The monthly revenue adds the seller's and buyer's commissions, subscriptions and eligible seller's allowances; GMV is excluded.

Basic formula Revenue = commissions + subscriptions + supplements from the seller
01 / Revenue

Where are the sources of revenue in the market?

In terms of revenue, the seller's and buyer's acquisitions, levels mixtures, period of use, subsequent orders, AOV, commissions, subscriptions and supplements of the seller are organised.

Worksheet revenue shows the purchase, user levels, order behaviour, AOV, commissions, subscriptions and additional results of the seller.
02 / COGS & OPEX

How are market costs organised?

The COGS and OPEX perspective separates direct costs, Variable operating expenses and fixed costs so that the cost assumptions can satisfy anticipated margins and cash flow.

The COGS and OPEX groups shall include cost assumptions in direct, variable and fixed operating terms.
03 / Scenarios

Product adjustment

Is the financial model of the e-commerce market suitable for you?

The template corresponds to markets using separate buyer and seller acquisitions with the monetisation of transactions, subscriptions and seller services; substantially different structures may require individual modelling.

Model ready

It fits perfectly

  • Your market is attracting sellers and buyers through separate budgets and CAC assumptions.
  • You divide market participants into levels with different life spans or economies.
  • GMV is determined on the basis of the purchaser's orders, recurring activity and AOV before the commission is calculated.
  • Revenue includes commissions plus optional subscriptions and seller service fees.
Order structure

Think about the model

  • Your revenue depends on mechanisms other than transaction fees, subscriptions and additional sellers.
  • Your user groups need a completely different logic for storing, allocating, or repeating purchases.
  • Your operating schedules require company-specific modules outside of a proven market structure.
  • Your reporting requirements require a significantly different management structure or financial performance.

The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.

Financial modelling service for orders

Do you need a pattern that meets your requirements?

The Financial Model Laboratory may build or adapt the model where the revenue logic, operational schedules or reporting structure differ from the finished template.

E-Commerce Marketplace Financial model FAQ

The basic answers are visible in their entirety, without the need to click on the accordion.

01

How does the model calculate revenue from the market?

It builds up buyer orders and GMV by level, calculates commission income, and then adds seller subscriptions, buyer subscriptions, and a seller add-on. GMV alone is not revenue.

02

Which assumptions can I change?

You can change the seller's and buyer's purchase budgets, seasonality, CAC, level mixes, lifetime, repeat orders, AOV, commissions, subscriptions and seller's allowances.

03

What can I compare between low, basic and high scenarios?

Alternative paths for forecasting revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA can be compared based on multiple model scenarios.

04

What financial results are taken into account?

The product shall present the income statement, the cash flow report, the balance sheet, the dashboard, the summary, the scenarios and the additional financial analysis reports.

05

Can the Financial Models Lab adapt the model to individual requirements?

Yes. the Financial Models Lab offers individual financial modelling where revenue logic, operational schedules or reporting needs require a different structure.

06

Is the book a prediction or a guarantee?

This is a planning forecast based on edited assumptions and not a guarantee of financial or operational results.
