See the model in action

See how each catch-up changes the GP and LP economics.

The walkthrough follows cash from the LP preferred return through capital repayment, optional GP catch-ups and the final distribution split.

Open the model screenshots

Use the presentation for a closer look at the model layout, assumptions, catch-up calculations and partner return outputs.

What the template includes

Flexible preferred-return logic with two separate catch-up decisions.

Enter the deal cash flows, define the GP and LP economics and choose exactly where a GP catch-up should apply.

01 / PREFERRED RETURN

Define the LP preferred-return rate

Set the annual preferred-return assumption that controls the first priority distribution.

02 / CONTRIBUTIONS

Set GP and LP funding shares

Define each partner's contribution percentage and enter contributions and distributions by period.

03 / ACCRUAL

Choose whether unpaid preferred returns accrue

Use the built-in selector to carry unpaid preferred return forward or apply a non-accruing structure.

04 / COMPOUNDING

Turn compounding on or off

Choose whether unpaid preferred-return balances themselves earn additional preferred return.

05 / EQUITY BASIS

Control how excess LP distributions reduce capital

Define whether distributions above the preferred return reduce the LP's outstanding capital basis.

06 / CATCH-UP ONE

Add a GP catch-up after the preferred return

Turn the first catch-up on or off and direct cash to the GP until the defined Tier 1 distribution rate is reached.

07 / CATCH-UP TWO

Add a second catch-up after LP capital repayment

Use a separate yes/no selector for the catch-up that follows the return of the LP's full investment.

08 / PARTNER RETURNS

Compare GP and LP performance

Review final IRR and equity multiple outputs for both sides of the venture.

Five-stage distribution sequence

Follow every dollar from the preferred return to the residual split.

The two catch-up stages are independent. Use either one, both or neither, depending on the agreement you are modeling.

01 / LP preferred return

Available cash first satisfies the LP preferred return under the selected accrual and compounding rules.

02 / Optional GP catch-up

If selected, cash moves to the GP until its cumulative distributions reach the defined Tier 1 rate relative to distributions already paid to the LP.

03 / LP capital repayment

Cash follows the Tier 1 GP/LP split until the LP has received its full initial investment back. Set the LP share to 100% when the agreement requires full priority on capital repayment.

04 / Second optional GP catch-up

After LP capital is fully repaid, the second catch-up can direct cash to the GP until the defined Tier 2 distribution rate is reached.

05 / Final distribution split

Once the active catch-up requirements are satisfied, remaining cash is distributed using the final GP/LP split.

How to use it

Configure the economics, enter the cash flows and review the partner results.

1. 01

   Enter partner contributions and deal cash flow

   Set the GP and LP funding shares, then input the contributions and distributions for each period.

2. 02

   Define the preferred-return rules

   Enter the rate and choose whether unpaid preferred return accrues, compounds and affects the LP capital basis.

3. 03

   Select the catch-up structure

   Turn each catch-up on or off and define the GP/LP rates used before and after capital repayment.

4. 04

   Review allocations and returns

   Follow cash through the waterfall and compare the GP and LP IRR and equity multiple outputs.

Analysis and reporting

See how catch-up timing changes each partner's outcome.

The worksheet makes the sequence visible so you can compare total distributions, promote economics and ending returns under different catch-up selections.

01 / CATCH-UP STATUS

Test either catch-up independently

Switch each catch-up on or off without rebuilding the surrounding waterfall logic.

02 / DISTRIBUTIONS

Trace GP and LP cash by stage

See when cash is directed to the LP, when the GP catches up and when the final split begins.

03 / PARTNER RETURNS

Compare GP and LP IRR

Review the final internal rate of return produced for each side of the venture.

04 / EQUITY MULTIPLE

Measure total cash-on-cash performance

Use the equity multiple outputs alongside IRR to compare total return and timing.

Questions before you buy

A few useful details.

Where can the two GP catch-ups occur?

The first optional catch-up can begin after the LP preferred return is satisfied. The second can begin after the LP has received its full investment back.

How does a GP catch-up work in this model?

When a catch-up is active, available cash is directed to the GP until its cumulative distributions reach the rate defined for that stage relative to the distributions already paid to the LP.

What happens after the catch-up is satisfied?

Cash moves to the GP/LP split defined for the next stage. After the second catch-up, remaining cash follows the final distribution rate.

Can the preferred return accrue or compound?

Yes. Separate model inputs let you choose whether unpaid preferred return accrues and whether the unpaid balance compounds.

Is the model annual or monthly?

The template is built for 10 annual periods. To use monthly periods, extend the final formulas, expand the IRR and equity multiple ranges and convert the annual preferred-return rate to a monthly rate.

What outputs are included?

The model calculates GP and LP distributions, IRR and equity multiple so you can compare the effect of each catch-up selection on both partners.

Financial Modeling and Acquisitions

Financial modeling can indeed provide acquisition entrepreneurs with a significant advantage. It allows them to thoroughly assess a target company's financial health, understand cash flows, identify potential risks, and determine a fair valuation. By building detailed models, entrepreneurs can simulate various scenarios, assess the impact of different strategies, and make data-driven decisions about whether an acquisition makes financial sense.

The 13-week liquidity framework

Follow cash from the opening balance to the ending position.

The model keeps the core cash equation visible while adding enough detail to support payment timing, working-capital management, and short-term operating decisions.

Beginning cash

Start with the cash available at the beginning of the first week, then carry each period's ending balance forward automatically.

Cash inflows

Schedule collections and other receipts in the week they are expected to arrive, making delayed or concentrated inflows easier to identify.

Cash outflows

Lay out each payment category by expected timing so critical obligations, discretionary spending, and rescheduling opportunities are clear.

Ending cash and cumulative flow

Calculate weekly net cash flow, ending liquidity, and the cumulative result to expose shortfalls early and quantify the size of any funding need.

How to use it

Move from starting cash to a rolling weekly decision tool.

1. 01

   Enter the starting cash balance

   Set the opening liquidity position that anchors the first week and flows through the rest of the schedule.

2. 02

   Build the 13-week budget

   Enter expected cash receipts and payments by line item and week, using the level of detail appropriate for the business.

3. 03

   Update actual performance

   Record realized inflows and outflows as the weeks close so variances against the original budget remain visible.

4. 04

   Review variances and act

   Use the cash summaries and charts to manage collections, prioritize payments, adjust spending, or arrange funding before a shortage arrives.
