This investor-ready E-commerce Financial Model is a complete planning and fundraising toolkit for online retailers and DTC brands. Built around a clean, corporate aesthetic, it delivers rigorous logic with intuitive navigation so founders, finance teams, and investors can understand the business at a glance.
What it’s for
Plan sales, margins, headcount, cash runway, and funding needs over 3–5 years. Stress-test scenarios (pricing, conversion, channel mix), validate unit economics (AOV, CVR, CAC, LTV), and present a credible, defensible story to stakeholders.
Model structure
- START HERE: quick guide and color legend.
- Assumptions: all inputs in light blue with validation (percentages 0–100%, positive currency, dropdowns for frequency and fulfillment model).
- Marketing: paid budgets by channel, derived traffic from CPV, and ROAS.
- Revenue & COGS: full funnel (traffic → CVR → orders → AOV → revenue) with channel splits; COGS components (product cost %, payment fees, shipping); inventory schedule (opening → purchases → COGS → closing), plus inventory turns/days.
- Operating Expenses: role-based headcount (start month, FTE, base salary, benefits %), G&A/Software/Other with growth.
- Financials: integrated Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow; working-capital schedules for A/R, Inventory, A/P; EBITDA, taxes, and net cash.
- Dashboard: modern KPI cards (AOV, CVR, Orders, LTV, LTV:CAC, Cash), charts for revenue & EBITDA, traffic by channel, ROAS trend, COGS donut, cash runway, and inventory turns.
Highlights
- Investor-grade formatting, locked calculations, consistent styles, and gridlines off for a premium look.
- Robust error handling (IFERROR), clear tooltips, print-ready layouts.
- Scenario-friendly: tweak CVR, AOV growth, channel budgets, and benefits to see instant impacts across the 3 statements.
- Unit economics: CAC (paid & blended), LTV (with repeat-purchase rate & lifespan), and the LTV:CAC ratio surfaced prominently.
- No circular references: cash and working capital are modeled left-to-right for stability.
