Video Overview:

This forecasting template works for not just sports agencies but any business earning a percentage of salaries / endorsements of the professionals they represent in negotiations and deals. The retention of talent has unique curves to define how long a given professional will be earning and how much, and these are separate for salaries vs. endorsements.

Up to three types of athletes / levels can be configured. The variables include expected count added per month, average starting annual salary, average starting endorsement earnings, and percentage the agency earns therein.

You also have variability in the start month of each type, and it is not mandatory to have all three configured. You may just have a single ‘average’ professional type, and that is fine too.

This model is not set up like a real estate brokerage where you have agents going out and earning a commission, and then the brokerage earns a share of those percentages.

This model is going to allow for dynamic forecasting of athlete’s / professional’s earnings, and the agency will earn a direct percentage for all of that. There are expense slots to account for, such as general overheads / fixed costs as well as variable costs based on the average cost per athlete type per month.

The goal of this financial planning tool is to understand what needs to be true in order to make a certain amount of profit. The benefits of this come in handy when planning out your expected expenses, what is feasible to charge for rates, and what is the overall strategy.

For example, do you plan to have a high-volume client base that earns less or a low-volume client base that earns high? What does it take to meet all your required obligations for each client, and how does that change with scale? and what does it cost to continue the required services?

The assumptions will all flow into comprehensive monthly and annual pro forma as well as financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement).

You have options to configure debt and/or equity in relation to how the initial investments / operational burn will be covered. There are also some visualizations that display revenue, cash flow, EBITDA, client count, and retention curves over a 10-year period. Output financial metrics include a DCF Analysis, IRR, NPV, Equity Multiple, and ROI.
