MODEL OVERVIEW
 
A Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) business delivers robotic hardware, embedded software and ongoing operational support to customers on a recurring per-robot-per-month and/or per-task usage basis, eliminating the need for upfront capital investment. By retaining ownership of the robots and leveraging cloud-based software, remote monitoring and continuous optimisation, RaaS companies provide scalable, flexible and outcome-driven automation solutions.
 
Our highly versatile and user-friendly Excel model enables the preparation of a 5-year rolling, fully integrated 3-statement financial projection (Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement) on a monthly timeline for a startup or established RaaS business offering recurring robot subscriptions and usage-based robotic services. The model allows users to simulate up to 8 per-robot-per-month service offerings and 8 per-task robotic services, together with other income streams, direct service costs, staff costs, marketing costs, other operating expenses, robotic hardware capital expenditure and depreciation, borrowings, sales tax, corporate tax and dividend distributions.
 
The model follows good-practice financial modelling principles and includes clear instructions, line-item explanations, built-in checks and input validations. It also incorporates a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation based on projected cash flows, providing a robust framework for analysing unit economics, cash requirements and long-term value creation in a Robotics-as-a-Service business.

KEY FEATURES
 
The model contains a flexible timeline that allows for a mix of actual and forecast periods across a 5-year period. This allows projections to be easily rolled forward as forecast periods become actual period;
Timeline is split on a monthly basis and summarised on an annual basis; 
The model is not password protected and can be modified as required following download;
The model comprises of 9 tabs split into input ('i_'), calculation ('c_'), output ('o_’) and system tabs. 
The model allows for the following number of underlying categories for each line item (these can be easily expanded if required):
Per robot per month services – 8 types;
Per task robotic services – 8 types;
Other income categories – 5 categories;
Direct expenses – 10 categories (5 for each revenue type);
Staff costs – 10 categories;
Marketing costs – 5 categories;
Other expenses – 15 categories;
Fixed assets – 5 categories;
Borrowings – 3 facilities
Apart from projecting revenue and costs the model includes the possibility to model fixed assets, borrowings (amortising), dividends and corporate tax;
Business name, currency, starting projection period are fully customisable;
Revenue, cost and fixed asset descriptions are fully customisable;
The model included an integrated discounted cash flow valuation using the projected cash flow outputs;
The model includes instructions, line-item explanations, checks and input validations to help ensure input fields are populated accurately; 
The model includes a checks dashboard which summarises all the checks included in the various tabs making it easier to identify any errors.
