DEAL MODELING SPREADSHEET NEEDED
Does anyone have a model that would work well for Search Funds? Or at least point me to one available online?
I was planning on using the model from my commercial real estate days but it is not suitable. It's got some really elegant ways to play with GP/LP equity, preferred returns, etc and then spits out COC Return, IRR, etc. I'm hoping to find a model that would be similar but not have all of the real estate features (number of units, vacancy, etc.).
After looking online I couldn't find anything that fits our purposes; any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You are looking for a model template. I was also a few months ago and decided to teach myself modeling and accountancy instead; now I do all my models from scratch. At some point I may want to create a template but I prefer to understand perfectly each model's structure by having conceived it myself.
I recommend corporatefinanceinstitute.com
What I've done since posting here on SearchFunder is I put a job on Upwork looking for an existing model from PE freelancers and I got a pretty good response. I'm still communication with everyone and haven't seen anything yet... but things looks promising.
Here is the spreadsheet that I bought. You guys should watch this... it is what we need for analyzing deals: https://bit.ly/2BXbxfP skip to 5:50 and you'll see what I mean...
Can you please share the spreadsheet with me too? I will connect with you and send you a PM.
Thanks
