DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE OF MODEL
Student accommodation refers to specialized housing options designed to cater specifically to students' needs while they pursue their education. These accommodations are often situated in close proximity to colleges, universities, or educational institutions, providing convenient access for students.
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 business developing and operating student accommodations.
The model allows the user to model up to 3 separate student accommodation residences each with their own stage of development/operation and own 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.
