Description

Leanus allows you to process a real-time complete business plan of Financial Statement, Balance Sheet Ratios, DSCR, LOM and much more both on an annual and monthly basisTo process it, simply enter the assumptions (from the Income Statement or Balance Sheet, or via the "Main Inputs" menus) and click the Update button. With each update, the entire model takes into account historical data and user input.

Even in the absence of user input, Leanus automatically generates a inertial business plan, which evaluates a company's ability to repay debt based on its ability to generate operating cash.

Given that the automatic assumptions may not be sufficient to accurately represent the specific situation of the company or simulate future scenarios, Leanus allows you to enter an unlimited number of inputs (eg costs, investments, tax impact, etc.).

What hypotheses can be introduced and how?

You can enter any hypothesis using simultaneously:
The Main Assumptions Input Menus (target EBITDA, investment and financing amortization plan, etc.)
The Profit and Loss Account Menus (both Classic and Management)
Balance Sheet Menus (Source: Employment and Liquidity)

For each item it is possible to enter both a numerical value and a percentage change compared to the previous period.

After each update, the model consistently processes the Economic, Asset and Financial Profile, the ratios, the DSCR, the statutory scheme and the commented reports.

What is important to know to understand the operating logic

To develop the business plan it is necessary that i historical data are "square" (little green or orange triangle)
For each input, after clicking on “Update”, the model automatically processes the CE, the SP, the Financial Statement and updates all the numerical and graphic analyzes present under the “Business Plan” Menu
For each input the squaring of the Business Plan data is obtained by varying the Liquidity (which is therefore the result deriving from the hypotheses entered)
The business plan for the first period it uses the data present in the last historical period as the basis of calculation ("the shoulder").
For subsequent years, use the data relating to the previous period as the basis for calculation
for startup (without accounting history) it is necessary to create an analysis with all the data at zero and the last period corresponding to the period preceding the simulation
Data can be entered via “input” or “Percentage Adjustment”
The Main Input Menu allows for the entry of specific assumptions relating to target EBITDA, amortization schedules, capital assumptions
The inputs entered via the “Main Inputs” menu are harmonized and synchronized with any other data entered directly into the CE/SP schemes
The data entered under the column “Input”, override the automatic simulations
Le Automatic simulations are highlighted in yellow. The notes visible by moving the mouse over the “i” describe the operation of the automatic simulations
At the bottom of the CE and SP tables there is additional information or input tables that they facilitate the management of the insertion of hypotheses
It's possible insert *any hypothesis without a default order** used alternatively *the Income Statement and Balance Sheet menus
It's possible Archive the different ones simulations
It is possible to insert the business plan elaborations in the Presentations

il Cash value is obtained as a result of the various simulations inserted (it is an output)
se the last period of historical data (Budget Analysis module) has a duration of less than 12 months, the first period of the Business Plan is automatically proportioned to 12 months
il value of the Cost of Personnel it can be inserted at the bottom of the Income Statement table and affects the value of Fixed Production Costs (see the notes on Leanus)
il value of financial charges it can be inserted at the bottom of the Income Statement table and influences the value of the Financial Management (see the notes on Leanus)
Depreciation and investments they are elaborated on the basis of the inserted hypotheses and foresee various checks that possibly highlight anomalies
For account for a divestment make sure to make the appropriate adjustments in the last year of the balance sheet in order to redistribute any accumulated depreciation fund in tangible and intangible fixed assets which must be accounted for, for the purposes of the Business Plan, at net value.

When to use the Business Plan Form?

• To process the Business Plan of a company that has an accounting history
• To develop the Business Plan of a Startup
• To elaborate a Project Plan and verify its impact both in stand-alone mode and integrated into the business reality
• To carry out Simulations on historical accounting data (Eg. Impact deriving from changes in working capital, etc)
• To elaborate a Monthly Budget
