DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

This product (Car Wash Financial Model: 5 Years and Seasonality Logic) is an Excel workbook (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

Recent Updates: Added 3-statement integration (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement) ; Cap Table ; CapEx with depreciation ; Improved global control assumptions.

This is a seasonality driven financial model for starting up and operating a car wash tunnel. It could also fit a car wash that has bays but the startup costs would be named differently.

All the logic still would apply correctly for revenue, operating, exit. The model starts off with a definition of the start year of the forecast, the startup costs, how much lead time is needed from the start of construction to opening, as well as any funding from debt and/or investments (that part you would come back to after filling out the rest of the model once you know minimum equity requirements).

The revenue logic is the most intuitive and important part of the entire model. The user can define their expected annual car count and the annual growth of that over five years. The elegant logic comes in on a schedule where the user can configure the percentage of expected annual car counts that come in each month.

In order to easily check and make sure the inputs are reasonable, there are calculations that drive down to the expected cars per day per month and the average minutes per car that would result from the defined seasonality rates and car count growth. It is a great way to ensure that your forecast is in line with reality. It is possible to account for multiple locations in this model as well, but the model would assume the startup costs for all locations happen up front.

In order to get a proper terminal value of the business and perform a DCF Analysis for the investor pool / owner pool / project as a whole, the business valuation is based on either an annualized EBITDA multiple or an annualized revenue multiple (user selection). Plenty of nice visualizations of the financial forecast make things digestible and there are monthly and annual pro forma details as well as high level annual summaries for quicker overviews of the forecast.

Through subscription to this invaluable site of a plethora of topics that are key and crucial to consulting, I have been able to exceed expectations and deliver quality advice and solutions to my clients. The quality and expertise of the authors are exemplary and gives me great confidence to use as part of my service offerings.

I highly recommend this company for any consultant wanting to apply international best practice standards in their service offerings. "

– Nishi Singh, Strategist and MD at NSP Consultants

"As a consulting firm, we had been creating subject matter training materials for our people and found the excellent materials on Flevy, which saved us 100's of hours of re-creating what already exists on the Flevy materials we purchased."

– Michael Evans, Managing Director at Newport LLC

"Flevy is now a part of my business routine. I visit Flevy at least 3 times each month.

Flevy has become my preferred learning source, because what it provides is practical, current, and useful in this era where the business world is being rewritten.

In today's environment where there are so many challenges and there is the need to make the right decisions in a short time, with so much scattered information, we are fortunate to have Flevy. Flevy investigates, selects, and puts at our disposal the best of the best to help us be successful in our work."

– Omar Hernán Montes Parra, CEO at Quantum SFE

"As a niche strategic consulting firm, Flevy and FlevyPro frameworks and documents are an on-going reference to help us structure our findings and recommendations to our clients as well as improve their clarity, strength, and visual power. For us, it is an invaluable resource to increase our impact and value."

– David Coloma, Consulting Area Manager at Cynertia Consulting

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."
