Cash flow template

Description
Oak Business Consultant has developed the Cash Flow Template for SaaS with the aim of providing insights into the cash inflows and outflows of a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) company. This tool is highly valuable for estimating the cash flow projections of a subscription-based software services provider.
The Cash Flow Template for SaaS is a comprehensive resource that enables owners, investors, and lenders to gain a clear understanding of a SaaS company's cash flows over a five-year period. It encompasses both annual and monthly cash flow analyses.
The primary revenue streams considered in this template are the monthly subscription fees and the one-time registration fees collected from new subscribers. These revenue sources are utilized to calculate the overall revenues, while the monthly churn rate is employed to determine the total number of users.
In addition, the Cash Flow Template for SaaS also takes into account various financial aspects such as the cost of customer acquisition (CAC), which includes variable costs, fixed costs based on a monthly breakdown, monthly and annual cash burn rates, monthly and annual recurring revenues, customer lifetime value (CLV), and the CAC/CLV ratio. The template comprises the following sheets or sections:
Input Assumptions

The input assumptions are specific to the SaaS business model. These provide flexibility to the tool. They can be changed as per user requirements, and the relevant numbers will change automatically.
Depreciation & Amortization
This sheet has been added to compute the fixed assets’ monthly depreciation amount. It also computes the monthly interest and the loan repayment value for each month for five years.

Operating Cash Flows

This sheet has been prepared to calculate monthly and yearly operating cash flows. It starts by estimating the net subscribers for each month. Then it presents the figures for monthly and annual recurring revenues. It also provides gross profit margins. Finally, it represents CAC-CLV analysis as well.
Cash Flow Statement
This sheet is prepared to estimate the monthly and yearly cash flows over the period of the next five years. It provides the net cash flows after estimating the cash flows from financing and investing activities and adding these to the operating cash flows.
