Stop Guessing Your Company's Cash Flow — Use This Free Cash Flow Model
If you're a startup founder or retail investor trying to value a business, you probably know that Free Cash Flow (FCF) is the gold standard — but calculating it correctly is surprisingly tricky.
I built a Free Cash Flow Model in Google Sheets that:
- Takes your income statement and cash flow data
- Automatically calculates FCF, FCF yield, and owner earnings
- Builds a 5-year DCF valuation with terminal value
- Includes sample data for a SaaS company and a retailer
The template has pre-built formulas so you just paste 4 years of data and get instant valuation output.
Why FCF matters more than earnings:
- Warren Buffett calls it "owner earnings"
- FCF can't be manipulated with accounting tricks
- It tells you how much cash the business truly generates
If you want to dive deeper, I published the full template here (free to use):
