Industrial Warehouse Business 10-Year Financial Model (Excel XLSX)

PURPOSE OF MODEL
Our highly versatile and user-friendly Excel model allows for the preparation of a of 10-year rolling 3 statement (Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash flow Statement) financial projection with a quarterly timeline for a startup or existing industrial warehousing business developing, owning and leasing warehouse/storage space to tenants. These businesses play a crucial role in the logistics and supply chain industry, providing storage solutions for businesses that need a secure and efficient space to store their inventory.
The model allows the user to model up to 3 separate industrial warehouses each with their own stage of development/operation and own leasing rates, volumes, direct expenses and direct staff costs. Apart from revenue and direct costs, the model allows the user to model indirect staff costs, marketing costs, other administrative costs, fixed assets, borrowings, sales tax, corporate tax and dividend distributions.
The model follows good practice financial modelling principles and includes instructions, line item explanations, checks and input validations and incorporates a discounted cash flow valuation calculation using the projected cash flows.
