Who is this course for?
Entrepreneurs, startups and founders often do not have the luxury of ready sources of capital to test various strategies and ideas. Our Financial Modelling for Startups Course allows you to do this in EXCEL before you put money on the line.
“Financial Modelling for Startups” will help you, as founders, ask the right questions and build models to find the answers; identify key business drivers and understand how margins change when strategies change; validate & defend your company’s growth assumptions and quantify downside risk; assess the ability of your company to borrow and payback debt; and calculate the enterprise value of the business.
