Unlock your MVNO Business with our Financial Model
A comprehensive and detailed financial model is the difference between an interesting idea and a compelling business. Our model gives you exquisite control over the key drivers of your MVNO business. The model includes hundreds of parameters, allowing you to exert fine-grained control over the inputs. Output is both numeric and graphical.
Model all you know
With everything you know about your business, you can make a compelling pitch to just about anyone with a pulse. But creating a sophisticated model on your own is tedious and error-prone. You could waste months achieving the coverage and scope you need. Time is money, so we've created a financial model for you. We've used it with dozens of other MVNOs around the world. Everything we've learned is included. It's easy for you to set values for your own drivers. It's been debugged, so you can rely on the numbers. You get the power of a sophisticated solution that has been repeatedly proven. The model has an integrated sensitivity analysis by entering drivers for your situation and the known variables you face. Each analysis scenario is shown using a simple dropdown menu. The image shows roughly 50 rows from the User Drivers worksheet. In the entire model, there are more than 125 of these inputs, giving you amazing control over the model and its summation of your business. All material aspects of Revenue, Operating Expenses (OpEx), and Capital Expenditure (CapEx) are included in the model results. Beyond basic modeling, the MarCom section gives you even finer control over spend. 13 separate categories of spending can be mapped to month-by-month plans. This is exquisite and fine-grained control over your plans.
Due Diligence Ready.
Will you be going for funding? Our model equips you with charts and graphs for decision-ready analysis and investor-impressing answers. All charts and graphs are fully linked into the model. So they update automatically as you adjust your inputs. No manual tweaking required. This is especially important when it comes down to the wire, and multiple iterations happen quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this model compare to other templates? A: Most available models are generic templates sold by paper mills or generated by AI tools that have never actually launched or operated an MVNO. They treat mobile services like a linear spreadsheet project, which leads to catastrophic errors in cash flow forecasting. Our Institutional-Grade MVNO Financial Model is different because it was built by veterans and has been used for launch and operation by MVNAs, MVNEs, MVNOs, and MNOs globally. ✣ Calculated Logic vs. Random Guessing: While generic templates are based on guessing, our framework calculates revenue from the bottom up. It uses specific voice traffic (minutes), data usage (MBs), and SMS volumes applied against retail and wholesale rates to find your true margin. ✣ 125+ User-Defined Drivers: Instead of relying on a few high-level assumptions, our framework includes over 125 specific drivers. This allows you to set precise Prepaid and Postpaid ARPU targets based on actual usage and costs. ✣ Operational Reality vs. Theoretical Math: Generic templates ignore the "hidden" costs that sink new operators. Our model includes specific logic for Wholesale Traffic Costs, National and International Termination Rates, and technical platform set-up fees—realities only known to those who have actually launched and managed an MVNO. ✣ Integrated Scenarios: In a generic sheet, changing your outlook requires hours of manual cell editing. Our model features an Integrated Sensitivity Analysis, allowing you to instantly shift your entire five-year projection between Optimistic, Baseline, and Pessimistic scenarios to ensure your strategy is resilient. ✣ Decision-Ready Unit Metrics: Most templates provide a basic P&L. This model provides institutional-grade analysis, automatically tracking the LTV/CAC ratio and subscriber churn dynamics, delivering the defensible data required to survive a professional due diligence process. Q: Can I use this model to pitch to Venture Capital or Private Equity firms? A: Yes. The model is built to be "Due Diligence Ready," providing the granular CapEx and OpEx breakdowns that institutional investors require. It includes integrated sensitivity analysis, allowing you to demonstrate how your business remains resilient under various market conditions. The output includes professional charts and tables specifically designed for board-level presentations and investment memorandums. Q: How does the model handle Subscriber Acquisition Cost (SAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV)? A: The model features a dedicated marketing and commissions (MarCom) module. You can map out 13 separate spending categories to see exactly how marketing spend impacts your Efficiency Ratio of LTV to CAC. Unlike static spreadsheets, this tool dynamically updates your cash flow valleys and break-even points as you adjust your subscriber growth and churn assumptions. Q: Is this Excel model compatible with both Light and Full MVNO setups? A: The framework is designed with over 125 user-defined drivers, making it flexible enough to model everything from a "Branded Reseller" to a "Full MVNO" with its own HLR/HSS infrastructure. You can accurately forecast the higher upfront CapEx of a full stack versus the higher variable OpEx of a light model to determine which path offers the best ROI for your market. Q: What version of Excel do I need to run the model? A: The model utilizes advanced financial functions, cross-sheet dynamic arrays, and automated sensitivity toggles. It requires a modern version of Excel (Office 365 or Excel 2021 and newer). The framework is designed to be decision-ready, allowing you to control the entire five-year projection through the designated input sections without the need to manually edit complex background formulas. Q: Do you provide support if I need help? A: We offer three tiers of engagement. While the DIY option provides the workbook for immediate download, our "Do it Together" and "We Do It For You" tiers include direct advisory hours with Russell Lundberg and Allan Rasmussen. This provides you with senior-level telecom expertise to help vet your assumptions and stress-test your unit economics before you go to market. Q: Can this model be adapted for different global markets and currencies? A: Yes. The framework is currency-agnostic and has been used to launch MVNOs on five continents. Because it uses bottom-up traffic logic (minutes, MBs, and SMS) rather than fixed revenue estimates, it adapts to any market's retail pricing and wholesale cost structure. All regional-specific variables such as local VAT/Tax rates and regulatory fees are dedicated inputs within the setup modules. Q: Is the model a black box, or can I audit the logic? A: There are no hidden macros or locked-away formulas. While the framework is designed to be controlled via the 125+ User Drivers to maintain structural integrity, every calculation from tax depreciation to wholesale margin is visible. You can trace any value from the Summary tab back to its original traffic driver, ensuring total transparency during internal audits or investor due diligence. Q: Is this only for the initial pitch, or can I use it to run the business? A: This is a living operational tool. Because it tracks Unit Metrics like LTV, CAC, and Churn month-by-month for 60 months. You can update the "Actuals" against your "Baseline" projections to see exactly where your cash flow is deviating and adjust your marketing spend or wholesale negotiations in real-time. Q: What is the ROI of investing in this $9,995 framework? A: It is the difference between an expensive guess and a defensible business case. Building a sophisticated MVNO model from scratch is more than just tedious; it is a high-risk investment of your most limited resource. A specialized financial analyst would require months and deep industry insights to replicate this level of coverage and scope, costing you tens of thousands in payroll before you even reach your first subscriber. Worse than the time lost is the risk of structural errors. In the telecom industry, minor miscalculations in wholesale traffic costs or termination rates can create a million-dollar hole in your cash flow projections. Most founders discover these gaps during investor due diligence, at which point the damage to their credibility is already done. We have condensed decades of global MVNO launches into this framework. It has been vetted across dozens of markets and repeatedly proven in high-stakes funding rounds. By using this model, you are not just buying a spreadsheet; you are buying years of experience from real operations, investment, and global launches. You are bypassing months of development, avoiding common operational pitfalls, and deploying a solution that has already survived the scrutiny of institutional investors.
