Cash Flow Stays Visible
This template made it much easier to see runway and shortfalls before they became a problem, and I cut my planning time by a few hours. One clean model instead of guessing at cash each month.

I didn’t have to build anything from scratch, which saved me most of a day and gave me a solid starting point for our budget. The layout made the whole model feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
Low, base, and high cases were already organized, so I stopped wasting time duplicating tabs and chasing formulas. I booked a planning call with my partner the same afternoon because the assumptions were finally clear.
A consultant can charge thousands to build this from scratch. Your own time is worth more. Spend a fraction of that and get a ready-made Excel model you can use in one afternoon.

We developed this detailed financial plan for a decorative sandblasting service based on extensive industry research. The model comes pre-populated with realistic assumptions for a glass artisan business, including revenue streams, staffing, and capital expenditures, all of which are fully editable. For instance, our base case projects revenue growing from $247,000 in the first year to over $1.2 million by year five, with the business reaching its breakeven point in February of year three.
Your revenue is driven by five distinct product categories, each with its own production and pricing ramp. The model calculates revenue by multiplying the units produced by the sales price for products ranging from high-volume Custom Wine Glasses to high-value Architectural Glass Panels. This structure allows for precise revenue forecasting for glass art, projecting total sales to climb from $247,000 to $1,227,000 over five years.
The business is projected to become profitable in its third year of operation. After initial investments in equipment and team growth lead to negative EBITDA of -$164,000 in Year 1 and -$368,000 in Year 2, profitability turns a corner. By Year 3, the business is forecasted to generate a positive EBITDA of $369,000 as production scales and operational efficiencies are realized.
You can easily tweak inputs to run low, base, and high cases side by side. Fully Customizable fields let you adjust units like 1,200 wine glasses or prices from $45, showing revenue growth from $247K year 1 to $1.2M year 5. So no more guesswork. Dynamic Dashboard displays it clearly.
