Investor-Ready Financial Model for Private Hire Hospitality

Please note: this project requires investor-ready financial modelling experience. This is not an accounting, bookkeeping, or compliance task. I am specifically looking for someone experienced in building assumption-driven financial models used for investor presentations, feasibility analysis and startup planning.
I am looking for an experienced financial modeller to build a fully functioning Excel financial model template for a hospitality and wellness retreat project.

The project involves a heritage property operating as a private hire retreat space, with a second development phase involving a small number of spa accommodation pods on adjoining land.

The property is being developed under agreement with the National Trust, so experience modelling hospitality, property or development projects is highly desirable.

The purpose of this model is to create a flexible investor and feasibility model, not a fixed forecast. All figures will be assumption-driven and updated as further project information becomes available.

For this reason the model must be fully formula-driven and structured around editable assumptions.

Project Structure
The financial model must be capable of modelling two phases.
Phase 1 – Main Property

Renovation and operation of the primary retreat property operating as a private hire wellness and corporate retreat venue.

Phase 2 – Expansion

Development of approximately 8–10 spa accommodation pods on adjoining land which would introduce overnight stay revenue.

The model should allow these phases to be viewed separately or combined.

Model Requirements
The Excel model should include the following core components.
Assumptions / Inputs

A centralised sheet where all key inputs can be edited including pricing assumptions, utilisation levels, staffing costs, operating costs, capital expenditure and investor funding.

Revenue Model

Structure for modelling event-based revenue and additional optional income streams.

Operating Costs

Adjustable operating cost structure appropriate for a retreat and hospitality business.

Staffing Model

Ability to model founder salary and additional operational staff over time.

Capital Expenditure

Modelling of refurbishment costs for the main property and development costs for the spa pod phase.

Funding & Investment

Ability to model investor capital, funding requirements and equity dilution scenarios.

Cashflow

Monthly cashflow for the early operating period.

Profit & Loss

Annual projections over a multi-year period.

Sensitivity Analysis

Ability to test scenarios such as utilisation rates, pricing and cost changes.

Investor Summary

A clear summary sheet suitable for inclusion in investor presentations.

Important Requirements
The model must be:
fully formula-driven
assumption-led
clearly structured and easy to update
suitable for investor discussions and feasibility analysis

This must be a working financial modelling tool, not a static spreadsheet.
