Car Wash Station Financial Model

A complete and professional financial model of a startup car wash station

Description
This is a comprehensive and professional yet user-friendly financial model for a startup car detailing station. I have developed this model with those beginning entrepreneurs in mind who are not familiar with sophisticated financial concepts but need an industry grade investment banking quality financial model for their startups.
The model generates three financial statements and return analysis. It is illustrated by professionally designed magazine-quality charts.
Any new business starts with capital investments and construction. The model has a very flexible capex section which covers up to 10 specific car wash station capex items (can be increased if needed) each having its own cost, acquisition date and useful life period. The model also handles non-capital startup costs.
Once the capex program is completed and necessary equipment and materials are purchased, our station starts generating profits. The model uses a number of drivers to make a granular analysis of revenues and profits: number of service posts, daily worktime, time and average number of services provided per day. The model also takes into account your ramp-up and monthly seasonality assumptions.
The main revenue streams which the model takes into account are:
- Car wash services of various types
- Additional services (tire pumping, oil change etc.)
- Retail revenues and profits on various car-related products (windscreen wash, antifreeze, vending machine merchandize etc.)
The model calculates direct cost of sales of the products and general operating and overhead expenses. It handles various fixed expenses and those driven by revenues.
Many startups are partly financed by debt. Drawing debt at right terms provides leverage and increases investor returns significantly. In this model you can choose the LTV ratio and other loan conditions.
The last stage of analysis is calculating exit proceed (or terminal value). This is needed for proper valuation, even if the shareholders are not planning to exit at that point in time.
Teamed up together, these calculations and schedules are used to build the financial statements (income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet) and return analysis for your car wash station startup project.
The findings of the model are illustrated by professionally designed magazine-quality charts.
