Two-Sided Marketplace Financial Projection Template

Description
Build reliable projections for your Two-Sided Marketplace business with this Excel Template.

How do I use this template?
1) Download our fully unlocked and ready-to-use Excel file.
2) Input your business’ information on these various tabs:
- Revenue model helps predict your business’ revenue through predicting the number of buyers and sellers joining your marketplace. Total sales can then be predicted, and you can set your commissions and fees to estimate your revenue. As you input your figures, your cost of goods sold is updated on the financial statement.
-Next, you are prompted to input your expenses to the operating expense model. This generates your expenses and cash flows on your financial statements. You can input your fixed monthly expenses or monthly expenses as a percentage of revenue for variable items, you decide. Also, as the first 3 months of the template are broken down individually, start-up expenses can easily be input.
-The general assumptions model does all the hard calculations for you, such as loan amortization, interest, depreciation expenses etc. Simply input information from your balance sheet and the rest is done for you!
-Calculate monthly taxes, salaries and benefits expenses with the salaries and distribution model. It also in turn enables you to plan for distributions to owners.

3) Next, these various output tabs will be automatically updated:
-The ‘at-a-glance’ tab shows you a snapshot of the finances of the Marktetplace via financial charts, graphs and ratios. These can be used in your pitch deck.
-The financial statements tab contains the income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet (which always automatically balance). Each statement also has monthly breakdowns.
-Check how sensitive your model is to changes in specific variables without altering your data with the Investor Dashboard tab. This tab displays your models’ income statement along with a modified income statement that updates as you alter the main assumptions.
