Most veterinary clinic projections assume a flat client-growth percentage and move on. This model replaces that guess with a real Patient Acquisition & Marketing rollforward – organic sign-ups plus paid marketing, minus client churn – so patient volume grows the way a real clinic's client base actually grows, not on a straight line drawn between two points.
Revenue is built from an eight-category treatment mix – wellness, vaccines, dental, surgery, diagnostics, emergency, grooming, and mobile – each on its own sourced fee schedule, rather than one blended "average visit" number. A Wellness Membership Plans tab adds recurring monthly revenue from enrolled households, and an Ancillary Revenue tab captures pharmacy, retail, and outside-lab/referral income separately, so the full revenue picture matches how a modern clinic actually earns money.
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio clears the 1.25x SBA 7(a) minimum in Year 1 at 2.67x, and stays above it through Year 3 (1.77x, then 1.89x) – a real result computed from the client-acquisition engine and Debt Schedule, not a static figure. Staffing is built on a data-driven DVM/vet-tech hiring timeline with production-based Associate DVM compensation, so payroll costs scale the way veterinary staffing economics actually work.
Twenty-six tabs cover the full picture: Start Here, Disclaimer, Help & FAQ, Assumptions, Patient Acquisition & Marketing, Revenue Build, Wellness Membership Plans, Ancillary Revenue, Debt Schedule, Staffing & Payroll, CapEx & Depreciation, Operating Expenses, the three financial statements balance-checked every month, an Actual vs. Budget Tracker for entering real results against the forecast, Break-Even Analysis, DSCR & Lender Ratios with a stress test, a 22-ratio Full Ratio Suite, a DuPont ROE Decomposition, Scenario Analysis, Sensitivity Analysis, a Business Valuation & Exit tab with DCF enterprise value and a 3-year exit IRR/MOIC, an Executive Dashboard, Funding Requirement, and Settings.
Every fee, wage, and cost is sourced to published 2026 data – BLS veterinarian and vet-tech wages, AVMA PLIT liability insurance rates, NAPHIA pet-insurance penetration, and SBA 7(a) fee schedules – with anything not independently sourced honestly marked as an estimate. Built as a native .xlsx, no macros, checked to open correctly across Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, WPS, OpenOffice, and ONLYOFFICE. A planning tool, not financial, legal, or tax advice.
