Padel Club Financial Model (4–8 Courts) — Feasibility, Funding & Operations in One Excel File
This Excel-based Padel Club Financial Model is a complete, investor-ready template designed to evaluate the financial performance of a new padel facility (typically 4, 6, or 8 courts) over a 5-year projection. It’s built specifically for racquet sports operations, with padel-accurate assumptions and logic—so you can move from “idea” to “bankable numbers” quickly and confidently.
What this model is used for
Use this template to:
- Assess project feasibility before signing a lease or starting construction
- Stress-test the business under different occupancy, pricing, and court-count scenarios
- Estimate IRR, payback period, EBITDA, and cash needs during ramp-up
- Build a structured case for investors, lenders, landlords, or internal approval
- Understand unit economics per court and determine the rent level your concept can support
How it works (simple workflow)
The workbook follows a clean, linear flow:
1) Inputs (Assumptions & Setup)
All key assumptions are editable in a single control panel, including:
- Court count toggle (4 / 6 / 8)
- Indoor vs. outdoor mix and seasonality factors
- Opening hours → slots per day → capacity
- Peak vs. Off-Peak definitions and pricing
- Month-by-month Year 1 ramp-up + occupancy targets for Years 2–5
- Coaching/academy assumptions, tournaments, pro shop, and F&B drivers
- Booking platform fees (e.g., Playtomic/Matchi-style commissions)
2) Revenue Engine (Granular Build-Up)
Revenue is calculated from operational capacity and utilization:
- Court Rentals: available slots × occupancy × rate (split Peak vs. Off-Peak)
- Coaching & Academy: courts reserved for lessons reduce rental inventory and generate lesson/camp income
- Tournaments & Events: monthly frequency × players × entry fee
- Retail/Pro Shop: conversion and unit assumptions with margin logic
- F&B: driven by player throughput (not just bookings)
3) Costs (CapEx + OpEx)
- CapEx includes court construction and fit-out line items, plus pre-opening costs
- OpEx includes staffing, rent, insurance, software, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, and other variable costs
- Includes a turf replacement sinking fund so owners reserve cash for major maintenance cycles
4) Financial Statements + Dashboard
The model produces structured output:
- Income Statement (Monthly Year 1–2, Annual Years 3–5)
- Cash Flow (showing burn rate and liquidity needs)
- Key KPIs on the dashboard: IRR, payback, total investment, occupancy progression, EBITDA margin, and revenue mix visuals
Built with padel-specific logic (what makes it different)
- 4 players per court throughput logic (padel is typically doubles): F&B and some retail economics are driven by player count, not just court bookings.
- Peak vs. Off-Peak transparency: you can see how pricing and time-band utilization impact revenue efficiency.
- Seasonality included: different factor profiles support indoor and outdoor realities.
- Booking commission in COGS: platform fees are modeled correctly against booking value.
- Replacement reserve: sinking fund logic helps plan for turf refresh cycles and long-term asset upkeep.
