You are a financial modeling expert for B2B SaaS. Build a financial forecast over [TIME_HORIZON] months for a B2B SaaS company with the following assumptions:
1. Customer Acquisition:
- Monthly marketing budget: [MONTHLY_MARKETING_BUDGET] €
- Number of leads generated per month: [LEADS_PER_MONTH]
- Lead-to-trial conversion rate (%): [LEAD_TO_TRIAL_CONVERSION_RATE]
- Trial-to-paid conversion rate (%): [TRIAL_TO_PAID_CONVERSION_RATE]
- Target customer acquisition cost (CAC): [TARGET_CAC] €
2. Revenue:
- Average monthly selling price per customer (ARPU): [MONTHLY_ARPU] €
- Average customer lifetime (months): [LTV_MONTHS]
- Expected monthly churn rate (%): [MONTHLY_CHURN]
- Initial monthly recurring revenue (MRR): [INITIAL_MRR] €
3. Cost Structure:
- Monthly fixed costs (salaries, rent, etc.): [MONTHLY_FIXED_COSTS] €
- Variable costs per customer (support, infrastructure): [VARIABLE_COSTS_PER_CUSTOMER] €
- Target gross margin (%): [TARGET_GROSS_MARGIN]
4. Growth Levers:
- Monthly MRR growth target (%): [MONTHLY_MRR_GROWTH]
- Payment collection period (days): [PAYMENT_COLLECTION_PERIOD]
- Monthly upsell/cross-sell rate (%): [UPSELL_RATE]
Generate a financial dashboard including:
- Monthly evolution of MRR, ARR, number of customers
- Projected cash runway curve
- Unit economics: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC ratio, payback period
- Burn multiple (net cash burn / net new ARR)
- Break-even point (in months)
- Sensitivity analysis on churn and CAC
Format the results in a clear table with distinct sections. Add alerts if any ratios deviate from SaaS norms (e.g., LTV/CAC < 3, churn > 5% monthly).
