Use this worked Charlotte example to examine how workshop capacity, service prices, operating costs, financing and working capital fit together before building an auto repair shop plan. The Professional package combines a fixed English feasibility report with an editable financial model. It is an illustrative planning example for one location, rather than a study of the purchaser's site.
The report describes a three-bay auto repair business with three paid technicians. Operating, demand, price, cost and investment inputs are transparent analyst assumptions expressed in 2026 USD. Base, High and Adverse scenarios help readers compare the effect of different assumptions. The example includes an opening-period cash dip and a negative Adverse stress case. Its planning reserve is a manual assumption, rather than a statutory tax calculation.
The primary document is the 12-page PDF report. The accompanying ZIP is the complete Professional version 1.0 package: the report in Word and PDF, an editable 10-sheet Excel model, monthly, annual and presentation CSV exports, assumptions, scenario and source registers, four original process and financial figures, a start guide, the Professional license and a file integrity manifest. The ZIP repeats the primary PDF so that the complete package stays together.
Begin with the report and start guide, then save a copy of the workbook and enter project-specific assumptions in the intended input cells. Recalculate in Excel and inspect the model checks. The three scenarios are calculated side by side. The supplied report, CSVs and figures are fixed examples and do not update automatically when the workbook changes. Use dated local evidence when adapting the example to another workshop.
Specific Professional License: one purchasing person or organization may use the files for its own projects, internal projects and projects prepared for clients.
