Clear Assumptions, Less Guesswork

Megan Carter, CA

4 star rating

The pricing, cost, and growth tabs were finally organized in one place, so I could stop patching together assumptions from three different sheets. It cut my planning time by hours and made the model much easier to explain.

Investor-Friendly From The Start

Ryan Mitchell, NY

4 star rating

I wasn’t sure what investors would want to see, but this template gave me the right structure and outputs right away. I booked a follow-up meeting with a cleaner model and a clearer story.

Built To Save Time

Lauren Brooks, TX

5 star rating

Building the financials by hand would’ve taken me days, maybe longer. This template turned that into an afternoon, with most of the work already laid out and ready to edit.

Model review

What does the financial model of a product called Online Community include?

This editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets workbook modeled the acquisition of sellers and buyers, transactions on the market, monthly revenues, scenarios and basic financial statements.

Use the workbook to combine market growth assumptions with order activity, coinization, operating costs, cash needs and financial results over time.

The proceeds of the seller and buyer flow through the activity of the cohort, orders, GMV, commissions, subscriptions, allowances of the seller, expenses and related financial statements.

Market logic GMV comes from orders of buyers and AOV, and then revenues come from commissions, subscriptions and sales licenses.
Bilateral revenue from the market

How does the financial model of the online community calculate revenue?

The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, transforms the activity of buyers in GMV and then coinates transactions through commissions, subscriptions and enabled sales services.

01

Get both sides

Divide the purchase budgets of the seller and buyer into their respective CACs to calculate new users.

02

Allocated areas

Designate sellers and buyers for a mixture of levels and retain each cohort for the duration of its validity.

03

Build Buyer Orders

Add initial orders of new buyers to repeat orders from quahorite eligible active buyers by level.

04

GMV calculation

Multiply orders at buyer level against existing AOV; GMV remains the volume of the transaction and not the revenue.

05

Calculation of revenue

To the monthly market revenue, commissions collected, fixed fees for the order, subscriptions and authorized allowances of the seller should be added.

Basic formula Revenue = GMV × withdrawal rate + order × fixed fee + subscriptions + seller's allowance
01 / Revenue

What information leads to market revenue?

The revenue spreadsheet combines separate purchasing budgets and CACs with levels, buyer activity, AOV, commissions, subscriptions and accessories of the seller.

02 / COGS & OPEX

What is the structure of operating expenses?

The COGS and OPEX spreadsheet shall organise direct, variable and fixed operating costs within the five-year forecast and monthly timetable.

According to COGS & OPEX, the assumptions for direct, variable and fixed operating expenses are separate.
03 / Scenarios

What's the equivalent of a scenario analysis?

The scenario compares the Low, Base, and High cases for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA over five years.

04 / Dashboard

Product adjustment

Is the financial model of the Internet community suitable for you?

Matches market plans using separate purchases of the seller and buyer, categorized cohorts, orders, commissions, subscriptions and accessories of the seller; various mechanics may require adjustment.

Model ready

It fits perfectly

  • Your market is attracting sellers and buyers through separate budgets and CAC assumptions.
  • Purchase orders depend on a mixture of levels, life expectancy of the cohort, repetition frequency and AOV.
  • Revenues combine transaction commissions, subscriptions and optional allowances from the seller.
  • You want five-year scenarios, financial statements and management reports in an editable workbook.
Order structure

Think about the model

  • Your basic revenue model does not apply to the bilateral market structure of the buyer-seller market.
  • You need a completely different time cohort, fulfillment, ability or transaction logic.
  • You need operating schedules or reporting structures outside the current workbook architecture.
  • You need a model tailored to different sources of revenue or decision-making results.

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

Before purchase

Online Community Financial Model FAQ

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

01

How is revenue calculated in the Community financial model on the Internet?

It calculates orders for the buyer and GMV, then adds a percentage and constant commissions, subscriptions to the seller and the buyer, as well as authorized allowances from the seller. GMV itself is not an income.

02

Which assumptions can I change?

You can change the separate budgets and seasonality of the acquisition of the seller and buyer, CACs, mixtures of levels and lifetimes, repeat orders, AOV, commission terms, subscription fees, additional fees of the seller and initial users in presence.

03

What can I compare low, base, and high scenarios to?

The review of the scenarios compares the alternative cases for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA under the five-year forecast.

04

What financial results are taken into account?

The confirmed results include profit and loss account, cash flow, balance sheet, navigation desktop, scenarios, summary, failure, ROIC, valuation, charts and KPIs.

05

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

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

06

Is the workbook a prediction or a guarantee?

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