Clear Margin Visibility
Megan Hall, TX
This template made profitability much easier to read. I could see margins and break-even in one place, and it saved me about 6 hours of spreadsheet cleanup before my lender call.
Runway Was Easy To Track

I finally had a clear view of runway and cash shortfalls without guessing. It helped me plan my next funding step two weeks earlier than I would have with my old tabs.
Everything In One Model
Laura Bennett, OR
The statements and charts were scattered across files before, and it was a mess. This pulled everything into one workbook, so I built the monthly report in under an hour.
Model review
What is the financial model of co-location services?
The Financial model of the co-tenant service is an editable five-year workbook that models the acquisition of sellers and buyers, market monetization, scenarios and related financial statements.
Use the workbook to plan the two-way co-tenant market by combining acquisitions, cohort maintenance, buyer orders, prices, commissions, subscriptions, seller overhead and operating expenses with projected financial results.
The seller's and buyer's editable assumptions flow through the monthly calculations into revenue, costs, employment, funding schedules, scenarios and model reporting views.
GMV is not revenueThe model treats GMV as the transaction value and recognises vendor commissions, subscriptions and eligible surpluses as revenue from the market.
Two-way revenue engine on the market
How does the model calculate the revenue from co-location services?
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, maintains group groups, converts purchaser activity into orders and GMV, and then recognises commissions, subscriptions and additional sellers as revenue.

Product adjustment
Is the financial model of co-location services right for you?
The ready-made model is compatible with the two-way market of the cohort with purchaser orders and market charges; substantially different operational logic may require custom modelling.
Model ready
It fits perfectly
You get sellers and buyers separately, and you keep both sides together for the rest of the cohort's life.
Purchasers' orders shall combine initial activity with recurring orders from eligible active purchaser cohorts.
Revenue from the market come from the commission, the seller's and the buyer's subscription and the seller's eligible additions.
You need an edited five-year workbook with monthly and annual reports plus Low, Base and High cases.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your company has a fundamentally different market structure than a separate group of sellers and buyers.
Your prices require significantly different fees, settlement events or revenue off-market logic.
Your operations require specialized schedules beyond model costs, payroll, CAPEX and funding schedules.
Reporting requirements require significantly different results or integration from financial statements and management into a workbook.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
