Acquire Both Sides
Seller and buyer acquisition budgets divided by their CAC values determine new monthly participants.
This editable five-year workbook models seller and buyer acquisition, marketplace commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras, then links results to statements, scenarios, and dashboard reporting.
Use the model to plan acquisition budgets, provider and member growth, transaction volume, pricing, subscriptions, seller extras, operating costs, financing, and resulting financial performance.
Editable assumptions feed monthly marketplace calculations that roll into annual views, financial statements, Low/Base/High scenario comparisons, and management reporting across the five-year forecast.
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, builds orders and GMV from active cohorts, then monetizes transactions, subscriptions, and enabled seller extras.
Seller and buyer acquisition budgets divided by their CAC values determine new monthly participants.
Tier mixes, starting participants, and lifetime assumptions determine active sellers and buyers over time.
New-buyer orders plus eligible repeat orders create monthly order volume, multiplied by buyer-tier AOV for GMV.
Commissions combine take-rate revenue and fixed order fees, while subscriptions and seller extras add recurring income.
Monthly revenue sums commission revenue, seller subscriptions, buyer subscriptions, and enabled seller extras without counting GMV as revenue.
The Revenue worksheet combines separate acquisition budgets, CAC, seasonality, tier mixes, lifetimes, repeat orders, AOV, commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX worksheet separates transaction-linked costs, marketplace variable expenses, and fixed overhead so operating assumptions flow into the financial forecast.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios view compares Low, Base, and High outcomes for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin, and EBITDA across the five-year forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard combines global setup, scenario multipliers, core financials, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow, and investment payback in one management view.
DASHBOARD
The ready-made workbook fits two-sided marketplace economics; materially different policy, underwriting, carrier, claims, or reporting structures may call for custom modeling.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Building the forecast by hand would've taken me days, and this template cut it down to a few hours. I had the first full version ready the same afternoon, which made client planning much easier.
I wasn't sure what investors expected to see, but this model showed the right structure right away. It helped me tighten the story and walk into my meeting with a cleaner set of numbers.
I'm not deep into Excel, so advanced modeling usually slows me down. The layout made it simple to fill in assumptions and keep moving, without getting stuck on formulas.
