This template gave me a starting point instead of a blank sheet, and that alone saved me hours of staring at formulas. I had a clean draft ready for review the same day.
This template gave me a starting point instead of a blank sheet, and that alone saved me hours of staring at formulas. I had a clean draft ready for review the same day.
I finally had pricing, costs, and growth in one place, so I could see what actually moved the numbers. It cut my planning time by half and made the assumptions easier to explain.
I used to worry that one broken cell would throw off everything, but this model is set up to catch that early. It saved me from a bad forecast and a last-minute rebuild before my meeting.
This is an editable five-year workbook for modeling the acquisition of sellers and buyers, transaction commissions, subscriptions, costs, scenarios and basic financial statements.
Use your workbook to plan how to separate acquisition of the seller and buyer, level maintenance, order activity, commissions, subscriptions and operating costs translate into financial results.
The Editable assumptions are the source of monthly calculations and annual summaries linking market activity with profit and loss accounts, cash flow, balance sheet, scenarios and management reports.
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, converts active cohorts of buyers into orders and GMV, and then adds commissions, subscriptions and allowances to the seller.
New sellers are equally budget-driven to purchase the seller divided by the CAC seller, adjusted to monthly seasonality.
New buyers are equally budgeted to take over the buyer divided by the buyer CAC, adjusted to monthly seasonality.
The sellers and buyers enter different levels and remain active by the life model of each level.
The initial and recurring orders of the purchaser shall form GMV using the average value of the contract of each buyer level.
Revenues combine GMV and fixed commission with the seller's subscriptions, buyer subscriptions and the authorized addition of the seller.
The income spreadsheet combines separate acquisition of the seller and buyer, maintaining level, order maintenance, AOV, commissions, subscriptions and accessories of the seller.
