The model analyzes the financial feasibility in detail by deriving the projected site financial statements. The Excel model template then consolidates the site financials into a consolidated financial plan.

As the rollout of the retail chain might take years to execute, the plan foresees different start years for each site and uses a phasing plan to rollout the expansion of the business to additional sites.

The model keeps track of important overall financial metrics and funding requirements and allows full flexibility to fine-tune the phasing plan by moving around the start years of each phase or site as needed.

Furthermore, the model also provides a framework to evaluate buy or rent decisions for the real estate in light of their overall effects on available cash. The model calculates all financial metrics including IRR, NPV, Minimum Funding required on a consolidated basis as well as on a per-site basis. In addition, the investor specific calculations are made including pre- and post-money valuation of potential fundraising.
