Modeling Valuation and Investment with the FIN Model

Abstract

Our emphasis in this chapter is on the financial analysis that is required to raise working capital needed to fund company operations. This analysis and the modeling that accompanies it will create a valuation and investment strategy. The Statement of Cash Flows, covered in the previous chapter, is a primary contributor to this analysis since it generates a time-phased cash flow forecast based on the outputs of the operating models that we have developed thus far in this book.
