INTEGRATED FINANCIAL MODEL EXCEL DESCRIPTION

This product (Car Wash Station Financial Model) is an Excel template (XLSX) with a supplemental PDF document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

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 includes three scenarios and generates the three financial statements and return analysis.

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 car wash 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 adjustments.

Apart from service revenues, the model calculates retail revenues and profits on various car-related products sold.

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 forecasts direct cost of sales of the products as well as general operating and overhead expenses. It handles various fixed expenses and those which are driven by revenues.

Many startups are partly financed by debt. Drawing debt at right terms provides financial leverage and increases investor returns substantially. 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 calculate returns (IRR, equity multiple, peak equity, breakeven and payback periods and others) for your car wash station startup project.

The findings of the model are illustrated by professionally designed magazine-quality charts.
