You need financial projections. But every path is painful.
"I spent two weeks on a spreadsheet and it still doesn't work."
Building financial models from scratch takes 15–60 hours. Most people give up or produce something they can't trust.
"A freelancer quoted me $1,500. For a spreadsheet."
Hiring a financial analyst costs $300–$3,000. For many founders and managers, that's not in the budget.
"I don't even know what a DCF is."
You shouldn't need a finance degree to project your business's future. But every template assumes you have one.
Answer a few questions. Get a professional Excel model in minutes.
Answer a few simple questions about your revenue, costs, and goals. Our wizard guides you — no jargon, no blank spreadsheets. Smart defaults handle the rest. Not ready to share your numbers? Hit "Prefill with dummy data" to explore first — then customize everything locally.
Step 1 of 4 — Tell us about your business
Three specialized AI agents work together: one designs the structure, one builds the spreadsheet, and one stress-tests every formula. This is why your model is reliable — not just fast.
Get a polished Excel file with real formulas, scenario analysis (Conservative / Expected / Optimistic), and a validation report. Open it, tweak it, present it.
5 tabs • 3 scenarios • Validation report included
Not a template. A custom model built for your business.
Every model comes with three scenarios: Conservative, Expected, and Optimistic. One-click toggle in Excel — change the scenario and the entire model recalculates instantly.
No hardcoded numbers. Every cell contains a real Excel formula you can inspect, modify, and extend. Blue cells are inputs. Black cells are calculations. Fully transparent.
Before you download, an adversarial AI reviewer stress-tests every formula, validates scenario wiring, and checks for errors. You get a Validation Report showing exactly what was checked.
Key DifferentiatorA freelancer takes days. DIY takes weeks. DraftPlan delivers a professional model in under 5 minutes. Time you can spend running your business.
These are actual models generated by DraftPlan. Download, open in Excel, and inspect every formula yourself. Common models include startup forecasts, restaurant projections, coffee shop models, real estate investment models, and DCF valuation models.
3-year projections with revenue drivers, cost breakdown, and scenario analysis. 5 tabs including Dashboard, Assumptions, P&L, and Validation Report.
Rental property analysis with cash flow projections, cap rate, IRR, and debt service coverage. Full scenario toggle for Conservative / Base / Optimistic.

Get My Model — from $49Compare: financial model services and freelancers often charge $500–$3,000. Templates cost $50–$100 and still need hours of customization. DraftPlan gives you a custom Excel model for $49–$59.
Everything you need to know about custom financial models in Excel.
A custom DraftPlan model costs $49 for a light single-tab model and $59 for a full multi-tab model with a dashboard. For comparison, a freelance financial modeler typically charges $500–$3,000, and generic Excel templates cost $50–$100 but still need hours of rework.
Yes. DraftPlan uses AI to generate a real .xlsx file with working formulas, three scenarios, and a structured layout — not a chat transcript or a screenshot. You answer a few questions about your revenue, costs, and goals, and the model is built around your numbers.
A solid startup model includes a revenue build, an expense and cost structure, a profit-and-loss and cash-flow view, monthly projections for the first 12–24 months, and scenario toggles for low, base, and high cases. Every DraftPlan model is built with these components.
Building a model by hand can take days. With DraftPlan you answer a short questionnaire and download a finished Excel model in minutes.
A template is generic and forces you to rework formulas to fit your business. DraftPlan builds the model around your inputs, so the formulas, line items, and scenarios already match how your business actually makes money.
No. A guided wizard asks plain-language questions — no jargon, no blank spreadsheets. If you’re not ready to share real numbers, you can prefill with sample data and customize the file locally afterwards.
You get a standard Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file with live, fully editable formulas. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers and change any assumption you like — it’s yours to keep, with no subscription.
Every purchase includes a 14-day refund. If the model doesn’t work for your business, email us within 14 days for a full refund.
