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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JASON VARNER | SMARTHELPING
I graduated in 2011 with a Bachelors degree in Accounting. From there, I worked at a few small businesses doing financial reporting and some bookkeeping. After a few years of that, I started doing freelance financial consulting work on Elance and Upwork.

After over 400 jobs completed with a 100% success rate, I now run my own modeling/consulting practice, conduct live streams on YouTube Monday and Tuesday mornings and continue to build new financial models.
I occasionally take on custom financial modeling work.

"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." – Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG
