Financial Plan / Business Case

Subscription / SaaS Business
We understand that every business or project is unique and requires a tailored approach when it comes to financial planning. That’s why we offer customized financial plans and business cases to meet your specific needs and goals.
Every business is unique.
Whether you’re running a SaaS or Freemium business, we are here to assist you in creating a financial plan that aligns with your unique business model. For example, a SaaS business that sells online project management software will need to focus on factors such as customer acquisition costs, customer lifetime value, and monthly recurring revenue. The operational focus will be on client onboarding and software development.
On the other hand, a subscription-based business that sells monthly skincare products will need to prioritize long-term customer retention, inventory levels, and shipment costs. This business will have a stronger focus on cash flow management and customer loyalty.
If you’re running a freemium business, we can help you determine the optimal premium membership ratio that is needed for sustainable long-term growth. When offering a free version of a product, we aim to reduce customer acquisition costs. With our financial models, we will evaluate whether your business and cost structure are sustainable for a freemium business model, or if you should instead offer a trial version
We recognize that financial planning is critical to the success of any business or project, and our financial modeling expert is ready to provide the support you need to achieve your financial goals

We create financial models for various types of projects and business
A management tool
Financial models are a powerful management tool with a wide range of applications, including strategic forecasting, company analysis, sensitivity analysis, and scenario analysis.
Part of a business plan
A financial model is a valuable tool that can help you assess the potential of your business idea by estimating its earning potential and the capital requirements needed to make it a success.
Part of a business case
A financial model is a powerful tool that can help you assess the potential impact of a new product line or capital expenditure (Capex) on the overall performance of your company.
Financial Model Structure
Assumption Sheet
In this section, you input all of the crucial assumptions for the financial plan, such as prices, costs, and investments. This table acts as the central control for the entire financial model.
Calculation Sheet / Model Sheet
The calculation tab is where all the number crunching takes place, organized into different blocks such as Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, Staff, Depreciation, and more.
Monthly Financial Statements
The financial plan includes a monthly Income Statement, Cashflow Statement, and Balance Sheet for typically 60 months.
Annual Financial Statements
The financial plan outlines the expected income, cash flow, and assets and liabilities for a period of 5 years through the Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement, and Balance Sheet.
Funding / Valuation Sheet*
The funding sheet summarizes the required funding and any funding shortfall by period. Additionally, a discounted cash flow (DCF) model is employed to calculate the potential value of the company. *Optional
Dashboard*
The Dashboard visually displays key elements of the financial model through graphs, charts, and performance indicators, making it ideal for presenting to potential investors or for use in loan applications.
Excel File / Google Sheets
We provide you with an editable Excel financial model file, which includes all the relevant segments and formulas for reconciliation. You'll be able to update the model yourself and make changes as needed.
