Free Spreadsheet Templates

Spreadsheet templates are widely used by investors and companies to build sophisticated financial models with the aim to accurately forecast the financial performance of a company. Finance spreadsheets are used to answer specific financial questions such as how does the finance structure look like, what is the internal rate of return of an investment proposition or how much will be the equity stakes after several rounds of financing. Company valuation Excel spreadsheet focus on the value of a company, mostly via the Discounted Free Cash Flow (DCF) analysis.

True finance Excel templates are prepared for financial modeling purposes and are a bit more complicated to build than spreadsheets for personal or accounting use. The expected financial performance heavily depends on its assumptions and the development of important key value drivers – specific to the business or its industry – which need to be carefully analyzed. Also for professional use, the calculations need to be a bit more sophisticated and allow for scenario and sensitivity analysis to better understand the associated risks. Thus financial model spreadsheets can be quite time-consuming to build. That’s why we have developed eFinancialModels.

Below we shortly review the free spreadsheet templates available on eFinancialModels. If you know of any other good financial spreadsheet, which should be reviewed and made available to eFinancialModels community, please drop us a note.

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) provides a framework to understand the financial attractiveness of an investment. As the IRR should be higher than its opportunity costs – measured by the WACC – IRR also provides an answer whether to undertake a project or not.

This spreadsheet provides a comprehensive forecast for cash flows and the balance sheet for a project finance project.

Leveraged Buyout Spreadsheet

Private Equity firms normally have a different way of looking at a company up for an acquisition than a family or corporate buyer. First, as a financial investor who focuses primarily on the strategy rather than execution, they will require a management team to actually run the company on a daily basis. Thus its called Buyout when the acquisition is done with the existing management team, Buy-In when a new management team is being brought in. Second, Private Equity firms prefer stable cash flows and have a preference to use financial leverage to increase their returns through financial engineering (leverage). Third a Private Equity investor normally is structured as a fund, thus has an investment horizon of ca. 5 years as investors will want to exit. Thus a spreadsheet used for Leveraged Buyout (LBO) analysis needs to include a debt schedule and an entry / exit calculation to come up with the expected IRR for this investment. This finance excel template or LBO spreadsheet provides the required framework to run the respective analysis.

Commercial Real Estate Spreadsheet

Investing in commercial real estate has become a valid alternative for investors, as one normally has to deal with fewer tenants for the same amount of square meters as residential real estate and the rental contracts can be more long-term. Investors are more sophisticated and need to understand the return potential when entering into a commercial real estate investment. This analysis requires quite some time, for which a good spreadsheet template is needed.

The commercial real estate investment model normally has a variety of sheets where the rent-roll is the most important one. Rent-roll is a simple list with all tenants renting space in the property and there is normally an algorithm used to predict the future cash flows of the tenants based on assumptions such as the length of renewed leases and periods of vacancies. Thus a spreadsheet template is needed which helps you to steer the assumptions in a simple way, calculate the cash flows and the return for investors. Of interest to investors are especially cash on cash multiples for their equity investment and their expected IRR. Below screenshot shows the summary of the spreadsheets contained in the model.
