About this model
Enter sales, growth and profit, and it estimates the cash the business will make, what that cash is worth today, and what the owners would have after debt.
How to run it
- Export your orders (Shopify, Square, Stripe, a POS or a visit list) with a customer, date and amount.
- Upload it. Line-item exports are rolled into orders by order number.
- Read the cohort table and the revenue-per-customer curve, add margin and acquisition cost if you have them, and download the workbook.
Frequently asked questions
What does DCF mean?
Discounted cash flow. It adds up the cash a business should produce in the future, then reduces it because money later is worth less than money today.
What is “return you want”?
How much you would need to earn each year to accept the risk. Riskier businesses need a higher figure, which lowers their value.
Is this the exact value?
No. It is an estimate that depends on your guesses, which is why it also shows a range.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything stays in your browser.
