Introduction to the Main Model

1. Introduction to the Main Model

Okay, by now, you should have downloaded our main Business Valuation Model, we've already worked through some exercises in Excel and we will do a few more going forward, but this is the main valuation model, so let's just take a quick tour through it. As always, we have a table of contents with hyper links, so that we can click and just go directly to that sheet, you can see the DCF model. So we have our three main financial statements, the income statement, the cash flow statement, the balance sheet, it's not a full, fully dynamic three statement model, but we wanted the three statements in there, so that we can show you where a lot of the data comes from, when we do a DCF. So we have some DCF calculations below our three statement model, then we have our relative valuation, so we'll do a comparable company analysis, we'll also do a precedent transaction analysis, and then we'll finish off with the football field chart. Now, this football field chart will auto populate as we work through this model, but I'll also show you how to build one of these from scratch when we get there. So let's dive into our Business Valuation Model.
