Marketplace Financial Model Tutorial: Projecting Revenue

If you're starting a business, a Financial Model is a critical tool to estimate the potential of your company. How much do you plan to charge for your product? How much do you expect you'll pay to acquire a customer? How much time do you need to finish development, and how much will those salaries cost? The sooner you know how much extra cash you'll have, the sooner you can deploy it, and the sooner you can yield results, i.e., multiply it. In the startup world, weeks can make a world of difference. So the model that we use at Slidebean, the model that made us profitable, we are making it available to the world as a free download. We’ll show you how it works in this video.

Great video! Thank you for the template. We have recommended it to some of our clients who are planning to launch their own marketplace on our platform, CS-Cart. It's crucial to quickly generate the financial model for your marketplace and launch it quickly!

This is exactly what I need for my new Saas marketplace app in which I’ll be launching next week.

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for when I shared my suggestion on your website. It's a breath of fresh air to see a company so close and attentive to it's support community. Yours is an example to follow by all aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as current enterprises. Once again, keep these videos coming! And best of luck in your growth!

Super excited...currently building my marketplace web app and this is exactly what I was hoping you guys would put together. There is no question I will be using Slidebean for my pitch deck!!

That was a beautiful combinational(Shopify & Airbnb) financial model and I loved your skill talent

[reecebrauer]

Love your content Caya, but $79 for a spreadsheet is a bit steep mate

Excellent tutorial and excellent Template! Only one thing needs to be improved: the Third Party Logistics section. The fees per order (billed to the seller) are fixed fees, while on Marketplaces, we usually use percentage rate, like, for example, 3% of the order.

Hey there, I would love to see a video on the internal functioning, management hierarchy etc of a tech company/ big companies

[EstelleClancy]

Thanks so much for this, this is gold !!! I managed to customize this template for my purposes, essentially simplifying it a lot as I am in a very early stage of my business and still calculating the feasibility. Now I would love to adjust the charts as well, I am trying to get some public funding, and I am sure some visuals would make all the difference. The tab "data for charts" seems to be disabled though, is there any reason for that? Could you by any chance unlock it or give a quick rundown on charts? Thanks in advance, would be super helpful...!

Amazing content and loved it. Question - At 11:50, you put in excel about Buyer Churn Rate (lost buyers), but while mentioning about Churn Buyer, you said, the buyers who will come back is 15%. Maybe you mixed it up? Because Churn means not coming back and Repeat is what people/buyers come back.

IThank you very much guys for the value you're providing in your channel and the great product you have.
If i may ask you if this model applicable for a food delivery marketplace? If not, then, what changes in inputs and outputs one should consider when developing the model?
Thank you again

Caya,
After seeing your pitch deck video I viewed almost all of your videos with in a span of 2 weeks, It was quite interesting, clear and it was the content which I was waiting for. YOU DO GREAT JOB!! Keep it up!
I was using using Financial model template. My Question is even if I change the currency to INR I was seeing only the dollar sign $ in my template. Is there any change I need to make in the template for seeing ₹ sign in Charts and other places ?

[goodluck_charliee]

This is amazing video and great concept, if i was wanting to use this as a highschooler could i receieve an educational discount ? Thans Slidean and Caya

What Financial Model applies to a marketplace app? Subscription BA model or Mobile App?

[millimunatti]

Hi, first off, great work. Where can I get the spreadsheet you are using for the marketplace model?

[johnfennelly]

Is it possible to change the Model Start Date options in Settings/General? I bought the Marketplace Model but the start dates only go from 2019 to 2022. Everything else works great

[Ebma]

Is it correct to consider UBER/UBEREATS a marketplace? This Financial Model is correct for their business model?

[freelancy]

Hi Caya, wher would you add the cash that founders put into the business when needed? (let's say tp cover some expences, but not necessarily fomaly added into the capital ) thank you
