About this model
Vinterior is an online marketplace for curated vintage furniture, connecting professional sellers with consumers and interior-design buyers. It organizes a fragmented market into searchable, trusted inventory with seller onboarding, provenance, customer support, and delivery coordination.
The platform had 180,000 active listings from 1,800 sellers across 29 countries and reported 120% year-over-year revenue growth in 2020. It earns commission on completed sales, with organic acquisition accounting for 74% of customer acquisition in the period shown.
The model builds GMV from active sellers, listings, buyer traffic, conversion, average order value, and repeat purchases, then applies the marketplace take rate. Seller activation, delivery and trust costs, B2B buyer mix, organic search, and inventory quality determine growth and contribution margin.
A turnkey financial model
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.

- LTV/CAC chart (slide 7): B2B LTV/CAC materially higher than B2C and accelerating 2018–2020; B2C LTV/CAC also growing - exact multiples not readable.
- GMV and Marketing as % of GMV chart (slide 8): marketing spend as % of GMV declining sharply 2018→2020 (line slopes steeply down) while GMV grows - confirms organic leverage. Exact percentages not readable.

Competition / moat
- Moat sources: Supply network (1,800 professional sellers, strong seller NPS 58, growing GMV per seller); SEO-led organic demand (74% organic 2020); curation and trust layer.
- Competitive positioning: Fragmented offline incumbents (antique shops, flea markets); general e-commerce (eBay, Etsy - less curated); no direct named competitor called out in deck.
- Supply acquisition described as "efficient and predictable" - inbound + outreach funnel.
- UK market leadership established; European expansion underway.

Recommended financial model
- Archetype + why: Marketplace GMV model with dual-sided unit economics (seller supply + buyer demand). Classic two-sided marketplace: GMV is the primary top-line driver; revenue = GMV × take-rate. Organic acquisition leverage makes a marketing efficiency sub-model important.
- Forecast horizon & granularity: 3 years monthly (Year 1–2) + annual (Year 3), given early-stage growth dynamics and seasonality in home furnishings.
- Key drivers & assumptions:
*Supply side*
- Active sellers (count): 1,800 current; +30–40%/yr growth as EU expansion continues
- Average listings per seller: 180,000 / 1,800 = 100; stable; quality-focus limits inflation
- Seller retention rate: Directionally high and rising; ~80–85% annual retention
*Demand side / GMV*
- GMV per active seller: Rising trend 2016–2020; £X baseline (not readable - open question)
- New buyer growth: Rising 2018–2020; driven by SEO - model SEO traffic as independent lever
*Revenue*
- Marketing as % of GMV: Declining; 5–8% in base case (2020 trend); directional anchor
*Margins*
- Gross margin: 65–75% (software/marketplace - primarily payment processing, hosting, customer support costs)
- Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):
- Base: 35% GMV growth, take-rate 12%, marketing % of GMV 6%
- Bull: 60% GMV growth (US expansion gains traction), take-rate 13%, marketing % of GMV 4% (organic flywheel)
- Bear: 20% GMV growth (macro softness, housing market weakness), take-rate 11%, marketing % of GMV 9% (must reactivate paid)
- Required sheets / outputs:
- Assumptions - all drivers with Base/Bull/Bear toggles
- Supply Model - active sellers, listings, seller retention
- Demand / GMV Model - buyers (new + retained), AOV, orders, GMV by channel (B2C / B2B)
- Revenue & Take-rate - GMV × take-rate, any other revenue lines
- P&L - Revenue, gross profit, S&M (marketing), R&D, G&A, EBITDA
- Marketing Efficiency - CAC by channel (SEO/paid/other), LTV/CAC by segment (B2C / B2B), payback
- Seller Economics - GMV per seller, cohort retention, seller lifetime value
- Dashboard - GMV, revenue, take-rate %, marketing % of GMV, LTV/CAC, NPS (reference)

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.
Need help finding your model? You’ll find me in the Finamodel app!
