Revenue & Direct Costs Assumptions
Starts with basic model questions on Start date of the model, Corporate tax rate.
Revenue assumptions are the anticipated factors that drive a company's income generation over a specific period. These assumptions form the basis for financial projections and are crucial for planning and decision-making. In our model we have included detailed inputs for 12 products manufactured including specific product inputs on selling start date, average # of units sold per month, growth rate in number of units sold and selling price.
Direct Costs assumptions are the costs directly attributable to a company's Revenue and we have included inputs on the likely direct costs for a Manufacturing Startup including Raw Material costs per unit, Packaging costs per unit and Shipping costs per unit.


Operating Expenses Assumptions
Operating expense assumptions are typically based on historical data, industry benchmarks, market trends, and management's judgment. They are crucial for estimating the total cost of running the business and for determining profitability. Like revenue assumptions, it's important to regularly review and adjust operating expense assumptions to reflect changes in the business environment and ensure the accuracy of financial forecasts. In our model we have included detailed inputs on Staff Costs (CEO, Operations Manager, Production Engineer, Other), Typical Manufacturing Startup related Operational Expenditure items including Utilities, Maintenance & Repairs, Insurance, Marketing & Advertising, Supplies & Other costs, Rent, Professional Services, however, you can add any other expenses you think may be relevant to your business in this sheet.


Capex Assumptions
Capital expenditure (Capex) assumptions refer to the anticipated investments a company plans to make in long-term assets, such as property, equipment, and technology, over a specific period. These assumptions are crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, as they impact the company's cash flow, profitability, and growth prospects. We have included a Detailed list of likely Initial Costs for a Manufacturing Startup founder including Equipment and Machinery costs, Factory Setup/Leasehold Improvements, Licensing/Permits/Registration, Initial Raw Material Purchase, Technology and Software, Initial Marketing and Branding and Employee Hiring and Training costs. We have included a Fixed Asset Register that has the relevant capex items above listed with assumed useful lives for depreciation purposes. We have also given an assumption on Capital Structure (i.e. if Capex Purchases were funded entirely through Equity or Debt).


Monthly Projections (10 year period)
We have broken down projections on a Month by Month basis when projecting Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement items. The monthly projections are provided over a 10 year time frame. This is particularly useful for businesses looking at month-on-month trends and insights in the business, which leads to better decision making and also better budgeting should there be a need to either raise more capital, pursue growth opportunities from excess capital or pay down interest bearing debt. Monthly projections also help a business ascertain what performance may be seasonal in nature when looking at growth projections on a month-over-previous-year's-month basis.


Annual Projections (10 year period)
The model has Annualized Financial Projections of Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement over a 10 year time frame.
