01 · Member demand

A pipeline you can substantiate.

Commitments require an evidence note. Letters of intent stay separate. Demand is not added to the financial forecast automatically.

$0/month in documented membership intentions

Across all expected start dates; excludes kitchen, credit and service revenue. 0 known kitchen hours/month. 0 commitment(s) without a start month. This is not launch-month revenue.

No prospective members yet. Add a business after your first conversation.

02 · Location shortlist

Compare the places that could work.

Enter separate one-time costs. Keep the operating reserve out of startup fields; it is calculated below.

No locations shortlisted. Add a candidate even if you are still waiting for quotes.

03 · Funding plan

Know the ask, and what is available.

One-time startup costsNeeds inputsBuildout + equipment + deposits + other
Modeled operating reserveNeeds inputsBase launch ramp, adjusted for location rent
Opening delay allowance$00 months of holding costs
Remaining to fundNeeds inputsTotal need less received funds only

Needs inputs total funding need. Missing startup amounts or rent keep the total unavailable. An opening delay also needs a holding-cost estimate, including all costs you expect before opening. Explicit zero is allowed.

The reserve reuses the selected enrollment forecast and replaces its $6,000 monthly rent with the candidate’s rent. It retains the workbook’s illustrative $369,565 loan at 9% over 84 months (not committed); adding funding sources does not change debt payments. The workbook’s $25,727 reserve is not treated as cash received. Log actual available capital once, under Funding.

Other operating costs, sales capacity, debt timing and staffing stay unchanged. This is a comparison, not a location-specific forecast. Reconcile final financing terms and opening dates before using the total externally.

No funding sources recorded. Add owner capital, a loan, a grant or another source and track its actual stage.
