Download the Worksheet

Please download the worksheet and fill out as much information as possible.  It's ok if you don't know some of the information.  You can leave it blank and we will address any missing information on a call.    

Here are a few things to know when filling out the worksheet:

  • Ownership Structure: Use the left side of the table if you have had multiple rounds of capital raised through equity.  If you have a more simplistic ownership structure, list the individual owners and their percentage equity on the right hand side.  
  • FY is Fiscal Year.  If you are a calendar year end, put Dec 31, otherwise put the month your fiscal year ends.  
  • Projected Cap Ex as a % of Revenue - How much do you spend each year on capital equipment?
  • Ownership Replacement Wages - If you were to hire someone to replace the owner and fulfill all the responsibilities they perform now, what would be a fair market wage you would have to pay the replacement?
  • Operating Entities/Product Lines - The NAICS code can usually be found on the top of your tax return.  
  • One Time Costs - These are expenses that would not ordinarily occur again for 5+ years.  An example of this would be putting a new roof on your building and expensing it through the P&L.  
  • Owner's Personal Expenses - These are expenses that are not vital to the operation of the business.  Examples: personal cell phones, personal vehicle payments, personal auto insurance, college tuition for kids, wages to family who do not work in the business, etc. 
  • Donations - Any donations that you give that are not tied to sales.  Example: If you sponsor a local kids soccer team and you would not lose business if you no longer sponsored the team.
