It's built to focus on expenses, cash, and runway, with basic consolidated financial statements, built with the same formatting and reports of the more advanced models, but without the prebuilt logic behind the revenue forecasts. I built the Runway & Cash Budget Tool to be a free resource for entrepreneurs just getting started. The growth and revenue forecasts are prebuilt using the 'one size fits all' conversion funnel and revenue forecasts, but the model also offers the Bring Your Own Model functionality to let use build or use your own revenue model with the financial core in the Standard. The financial core contains all the details and reports necessary to build and present your financial model to executives and investors and make significant business decisions. The Standard is the best option for most businesses. For the base financial models, the financial core of the models - financial statements, operating costs, key reports and summary - are largely the same, so the question usually comes to whether the Standard is a good fit, or whether you need more or less structure.

The forecast tools are all free tools that are built to handle specific kinds of forecasting, they are not intended to be full financial models, but used appropriately can help you make important financial decisions about your business.Ĭhoosing the right template usually comes down to finding the best model for how the company grows and how the revenues are earned. The models provide an increasing amount of prebuilt detail and structure, from the Runway and Cash Budget Tool - the simplest - to the Standard/SaaS/Ecommerce Models - the most complex - to help you find the right level of detail and structure you need in your forecasts. The base financial models are built to help an entrepreneur create financial projections for their business. I build the templates to be used by people with a minimal amount of knowledge of spreadsheets and accounting, with enough flexibility to handle a wide range of situations already built into the templates, but with enough power to be used (and modified) by people with a deep experience in financial modeling.
