Simple Cash Flow Model Excel Template

Description
This Simple Cash Flow Excel Model Template can be used by an early-stage company for financial planning or/and fundraising.

The detailed cash flow model starts with the user projections on the top followed by simple revenue calculations (e.g. multiplying the number of users x monthly revenues assumptions, then by cost calculations (direct/variable and fixed salaries and general opex) and finally by CAPEX.

The numbers are then aggregated into an annual view and the summary is used to generate simple equity returns to estimate the potential feasibility of the project of a business venture.

The model also contains simple graphs to aid visualisation and the presentation of the output.

The workbook consists of:
- Table of Contents with links to individual sheets
