Structuring commission plans for sales people can be difficult to get right. There are plenty of ways to do it, so what is best? In my opinion, it is better to make the commission rate a function of gross profit generated (if this is possible to calculate for your situation) rather than revenue sold. If revenue sold is the only thing trackable, that is fine and the model will still work.
B2B/B2C SaaS Financial Model - Varying Contract Terms
I have done a wide range of SaaS financial models. However, none of them include logic to account for customers that may be on varying contract lengths. This template has solved for that by including 'contract term' as a variable input and retention rate upon renewal. The accompanying logic needed to make it dynamic was difficult, but well worth the benefits you get with this forecasting template. With this configuration, the model works elegantly for B2B or B2C SaaS businesses.

Real Estate Development - Budget vs. Actual
This financial model has been built with a bit of a twist. Normally, I build assumption tabs that automatically populate a monthly and annual summary. However, for the purpose of trying to forecast the financials of a real estate development project, some new logic has been done to accommodate.
Storefront Retail Scaling - Financial Model for Up to 25 Locations
There are a lot of complex things happening for any organization that is trying to scale into the retail world. By retail, I mean a brick and mortar operation that must attain inventory / raw materials or some product that is then re-sold to customers from their location. Capital requirements can be large and if you are not doing the math right, there could be surprising cash shortfalls.
Mobile App - 5 Year Startup Financial Model
This Excel template has everything you need for a full-on mobile app financial model. I have done similar work with the freemium and mobile app/website builds but this was done specifically for mobile app scenarios only and includes logic for in-app purchases, ad revenue, and pay for no ads service.
Manufacturing Plant Financial Model - Up to 10 Years
I was going to do a financial model that was just about making 3D printers, but then I realized the assumptions and logic required would actually fit any manufacturing business. So, this model is actually a general use template for the manufacturing of any kind of widget (3D printers, valves, or what have you).

There are 3 tiers and in each tier the cash is split differently.
Economics of 3D Printing: 5 Year Financial Model
I was browsing some of the fastest growing industries and the most interesting thing I could find was 3D printing. There are a few main business models that have come up around this. I will be doing models for a few more in the future. For this one, it is: purchasing 3D printers and building things with them that you sell. You may also be interested in a general manufacturing financial model.
