See the model in action

Walk through the location plan, financing and outputs.

Follow the video to see how new locations, wash revenue, operating costs and financing move through the cash flow forecast and return analysis.

Open the model overview presentation

Use the presentation alongside the video for an overview of the model and the decisions it helps you evaluate.

Template features

Build a connected financial plan for multiple locations.

Model the development and acquisition schedule together with the operating assumptions, capital costs, debt and investor returns.

01 / 10-YEAR FORECAST

Plan the network over time

Model up to 10 years and define when new locations start. Test faster or slower expansion plans as existing locations begin producing cash flow.

02 / TWO LOCATION TYPES

Combine developments and acquisitions

Configure two location types for new developments and acquisitions, then define the new locations started for each type.

03 / DYNAMIC FINANCING

Match the loan to the location plan

Set development financing with an interest-only period and conversion to permanent financing. Use mortgage-style loans for acquisitions.

04 / MONTHLY COHORT CAPEX

Apply the cost schedule to each launch group

Use a dynamic capital-expenditure schedule for each monthly cohort of locations, with separate schedules for costs subject to financing and costs that are not financed.

05 / WASH REVENUE

Include individual washes and memberships

Build revenue assumptions around both single-use washes and membership washes across the growing network.

06 / OPERATING COSTS

Scale costs with activity and locations

Define variable costs per car and fixed costs per location. These costs automatically scale with the corresponding counts.

07 / CONNECTED STATEMENTS

Keep the three statements together

Use fully integrated monthly and annual income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements that update as assumptions change.

08 / INVESTOR RETURNS

Measure the outcome for owners and investors

Review investor and owner return summaries with IRR, ROI and equity multiple as location timing, operating assumptions and financing change.

09 / PER-CAR AND PER-LOCATION KPIS

See the economics behind the totals

Review charts and KPIs such as average revenue and cost per car and per location.

10 / DEBT COVERAGE

Review Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Use the included DSCR output alongside the operating forecast, debt schedule and financial statements when reviewing the funding plan.

Growth, financing and cash flow

See how the expansion schedule affects the capital required.

The timing of new locations matters alongside their operating performance. Use the monthly cash flow forecast to compare expansion funded by operating profits, debt and investor capital.

Launch timing

The monthly cash flow forecast connects the cost of opening new locations with the cash generated by existing sites. Change the launch schedule to explore how operating profits can support further expansion.

Financing share

The percentage of development and acquisition costs financed affects the minimum equity required. Test the balance between operating cash flow, debt and upfront investment.

Minimum investment

The model calculates the minimum investment required from the lowest cash position reached over the forecast. The IRR analysis assumes this capital is invested up front.

Distributable cash flow

Only positive cash flows beyond the minimum cash threshold are treated as distributable in the return analysis. Review this alongside the timing of new locations and their funding needs.

How to use it

From a launch schedule to a funding and return analysis.

1. 01

   Define the location plan

   Configure the two location types and set the timing and number of new locations. Include developments, acquisitions or a mix of both.

2. 02

   Set the capital and financing assumptions

   Enter the monthly cohort CAPEX schedules, financed and non-financed costs, development loan terms and acquisition financing.

3. 03

   Build the operating forecast

   Configure single-use and membership wash revenue, variable costs per car and fixed costs per location.

4. 04

   Review cash needs and returns

   Study the minimum investment, DSCR, three statements, KPIs and investor returns. Adjust the launch pace and financing assumptions to compare growth plans.

A few useful details.

How long is the forecast?

The model supports a forecast of up to 10 years, with monthly and annual financial statements.

A Couple Agentic-AI Business Model Examples

Everything starts with an idea and here are two different business models that you can have fun validating in the Agentic-AI space. This space has been growing lately as training data for different things has become extremely valuable and monetizable in new ways that make life easier. In my opinion, we are just getting started and that means opportunity.

Some of the E-Commerce agent model features seem like they would help people shop and browse through all the templates you can find here on this site. My biggest problem is the rails this site is built on are old so not sure how easy it is to implement. People often wonder what financial model fits best and having an AI-agent help these customers could increases sales and general user-engagement.
