Quick Underwrite: SBA Loans & Real Estate Model (Excel XLSX)

This was originally designed for a senior care facility acquisition model that can be used over and over for many deals. However, it is useful for any acquisition analysis that involves purchasing a business and the real estate the business operates in.

Straightforward Financial Inputs for NOI

Why It's Useful: Minimizes data entry and complexity, reducing both workload and the chance of errors. Perfect if you want to avoid getting bogged down in large, multi-tab spreadsheets.

Flexibility in Modeling & Refinancing

What It Is: Lets you project cash flows for up to 10 years and choose different financing structures (SBA 504, SBA 7(a), or conventional loans). Includes an option to refinance all existing debt in a future year.
Why It's Useful: Adapts to various real estate/business purchase scenarios. The refinance feature allows for strategic long-term planning and reshaping of debt as conditions change.

Minimal Tabs for Quick Underwriting

Why It's Useful: Saves time and avoids errors in complex waterfall calculations. Ensures investors easily see how proceeds are split and helps everyone understand their potential returns.

What It Is: A clear breakdown of total project costs (uses), funding (sources), and required reserves.
Why It's Useful: Keeps capital requirements and allocations organized and transparent. Automatically calculating reserve requirements adds an extra layer of financial safety.

Robust Output Metrics

Eight Built-In Visualizations

What It Is: Generates charts and graphs illustrating cash flow trends, returns, and other key data over time.
