About this pro forma
The full aquaculture Excel model drives the pro forma from stocking and biological growth through feed conversion, mortality, biomass limits, harvest timing and market prices. It builds revenue and cost from production mechanics, then carries capex, working capital, tax and valuation.
The projected outputs help farm operators, investors, lenders and analysts assess production plans, expansion, price volatility and liquidity. Change stocking, feed prices, survival, harvest weights or licence capacity.
What every model includes
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.

Frequently asked
What biology is modelled?+
Stocking, growth, feed conversion, mortality, biomass capacity, harvest timing and species-specific assumptions are projected.
Can I stress feed prices?+
Yes. Feed prices and conversion assumptions flow into projected production cost, margin and cash flow.
How are harvests projected?+
Cohorts grow through the selected cycle, with survival, harvest weight and market price determining sales.
Who uses it?+
Aquaculture operators, developers, lenders, investors and analysts use it to evaluate capacity and expansion economics.
