01Customer cohorts, hours and revenueWorksheet specification
Customer cohorts, hours and revenue
Planned purpose: The paid workbook converts marketing and customer acquisition into active cohorts, then multiplies customer-billable hours by hourly rates across service levels.
Inputs
Marketing spend
Customer acquisition cost
Customer lifetime
Billable hours per customer
Hourly rate by level
Outputs
Active customers
Billable hours
Monthly service revenue
Limits and completion needs
The StartFigures public case uses a completed-job ticket, not the workbook's native hourly abstraction.
Map each job mix into billable hours and rates, then track nonbillable paid labor separately for staffing and capacity.
02Direct costs and overheadWorksheet specification
Direct costs and overhead
Planned purpose: Separates job materials and variable operating costs from fixed vehicle, tool, insurance, marketing and administrative expenses.
Inputs
Materials
Payment fees
Route vehicle cost
Insurance
Software
Marketing
Outputs
Direct job costs
Gross margin
Operating expenses
Limits and completion needs
Customer-reimbursed materials and markups must be modeled consistently.
Local insurance and vehicle costs require quotes.
03Payroll and technician planWorksheet specification
Payroll and technician plan
Planned purpose: Schedules the paid working owner-manager, employee technician, compensation, start dates and employer costs.
Inputs
Roles
Headcount
Pay rates
Start dates
Payroll burden
Outputs
Monthly payroll
Headcount
Labor cost by period
Limits and completion needs
BLS data exclude self-employed earnings and are national.
Travel, estimates, purchasing and callbacks must stay visible in paid labor capacity; only customer-billable portions belong in revenue hours.
04Capex, funding and cashWorksheet specification
Capex, funding and cash
Planned purpose: Times the launch van, staged second vehicle, tool, launch and reserve uses and connects financing assumptions to cash flow.
Inputs
Opening uses
Replacement schedule
Funding sources
Debt terms
Minimum cash
Outputs
Sources and uses
Cash runway
Funding gap
Limits and completion needs
The $135,000 case is not a vehicle or tool quote.
Tax and financing treatment need separate advice.
05Scenarios and break-evenWorksheet specification
Scenarios and break-even
Planned purpose: Compares alternative hours, rates, costs and growth paths and calculates the revenue needed to cover fixed costs.
Inputs
Hourly rates
Customer-billable hours
Contribution margin
Fixed costs
Scenario multipliers
Outputs
Break-even revenue
Low/base/high results
Margin sensitivity
Limits and completion needs
The public job-mix bridge must be reconciled to workbook hours.
Break-even excludes debt, tax and distributions.

Only completed jobs per field day across both workers changes. Retained sale per completed repair job: $450.00; 5 operating days per week. Fixed costs and contribution margin stay constant. “Not reached” means no operating break-even within the 10-month ramp. This sensitivity is separate from the annual forecast and does not measure cash payback.

Units mean completed jobs per field day across both workers. The ramp covers 10 months; operating break-even does not measure recovery of opening capital.
The annual forecast and fixed-cost sensitivity are separate planning views. The website does not yet supply a complete funding, debt, tax and working-capital schedule for a cumulative cash-flow or payback chart. Read the full input basis and limitations.
Annual forecast and calculator comparison
The annual forecast and calculator use separate scenarios. Their revenue ramp or cost allocations differ, as shown below. The calculator's break-even month does not reconcile the annual forecast.

What do the online previews show?
The online preview explains Customer cohorts, hours and revenue, Direct costs and overhead, Payroll and technician plan, Capex, funding and cash, Scenarios and break-even, Statements and dashboard using this website's illustrative case. It is separate from the downloadable Excel model.
Are these previews pages from a finished file?
The web previews are rendered from the website's case record. They illustrate planning concepts and calculations; they are not screenshots or a page-by-page inventory of the downloadable product.
What would I need to change for my business?
Review retained sale per completed repair job, completed jobs per field day across both workers, the operating schedule, opening budget and costs. These web previews do not edit a workbook. Test the website's price and volume assumptions in the business idea page's calculator.
Is the written business plan included?
The Financial Model is sold separately. The $168 Bundle adds the $59 Business Plan and $109 Financial Model for the same business to one cart, one of each.
Do the figures establish what my business will earn?
No. The figures describe an illustrative U.S. operating case, not measured industry averages or a prediction for your location. EBITDA is not owner cash, and operating break-even does not recover the opening investment. Check local costs, capacity and demand before using the assumptions.
