Any business that wants to present itself to an important stakeholder (either current and potential) should possess a numeric version of its business logic and overall vision.

This project has been done for a late-stage B2C startup to justify an attractiveness of an M&A deal for a potential acquirer. The work has been done in 2 weeks taking into account many interactions with the founding team to understand the business and transfer every side of it to spreadsheets.

On the tech side, the work is done with MS Excel instruments. What's more important is that every financial model is a unique product and demands many iterations of dialogue with founders or any other startup representatives to incorporate every piece of important information about the project.

The result is a highly accurate business model that describes the plan and logic of a business in a step-by-step manner. Every model user has the ability to understand what process lies behind every number and why they receive these particular numbers in the end. The advantage of this particular modeling approach is that the model is dependent only on a relatively small number of assumptions that could be changed at fraction of time to challenge the potential outcome in several clicks.
