Description
Online learning is booming and has become popular among working professionals and students. The entire eLearning landscape around the globe is changing rapidly and new trends continue to emerge. As people increasingly turn to the internet to solve a variety of problems, e-learning has emerged as a viable path towards self-improvement.
In a world where someone can easily waste hours online, e-learning enables people to build their skill sets in ways that can improve their lives and increase their earning potential - all from the comfort of their own homes.
This financial model presents a business scenario of an enterprise offering digital training programs in the form of both a ‘night school model’ (where learners pay a one-time fee to access individual courses or certification programs) and an 'academy model' (where learners, in exchange for a monthly subscription fee, receive ongoing access to the entire library of course content, which typically includes course material, videos, and other educational perks).
The model is suitable for either a new or existing E-Learning Institute and includes assumptions and calculations of Paid and Organic Leads and their conversion rates to Active Customers, 4 different revenue sources (Memberships, Individual Courses, Certification Programs and E-Book Sales), Payroll, OpEx and CapEx and business Financing assumptions through Debt & Equity.
Outputs of the template include Monthly Operating Budget, Budget vs Actual Variance Analysis, Annual Forecasted Financial Statements (3 Statement Model), Annual Direct Cash Flow, Breakeven Analysis, Business Valuation including DCF & Terminal Value, Payback period analysis and Investors Returns Waterfall.
A variety of KPIs and Financial Ratios analyzes business performance and the company’s results are presented through sophisticated charts & graphs and are summarized on a professional Executive Dashboard.
