What this model does

Cash flow feasibility, end to end.

Replace the project cashflow workbook. Connect the cost schedule, revenue schedule and finance into one monthly view, with equity IRR, project IRR, peak debt and peak equity at the top.

Engine logic

Two engines. Scenarios and cashflow.

The two pieces that separate the cash flow feasibility from a spreadsheet. Scenarios that share one project, and a monthly cashflow wired to every input.

Scenarios01 / 02

Multiple scenarios, one project

Switchable in a click. No copied files.

  1. 01

    Scenarios share a programme but split on assumptions.

  2. 02

    Move debt facility size, interest rate and equity timing per scenario.

  3. 03

    Switch S-curve shape and settlement profile per case.

  4. 04

    Compare base, downside and stretch on equity IRR and peak debt.

Cashflow02 / 02

Monthly cashflow, fully connected

Every input touches the schedule.

  1. 01

    Monthly periods across the full programme, with annual aggregation alongside.

  2. 02

    Equity-first drawdown, then senior debt against approved progress claims.

  3. 03

    S-curve construction default with manual override per project.

  4. 04

    Settlement waterfall tail-loaded across multiple months, with deposits modelled.

  5. 05

    Senior interest accrues monthly against the drawn balance.

Excel replacement

Where the workbook quietly fails.

Every row is a recurring failure mode of the cash flow feasibility spreadsheet, and how the model handles it once.

Use and verify

What it decides. What to check first.

The decisions the cash flow feasibility is built to support, alongside the things to verify before you trust it on a live deal.

What it decidesUse cases
  1. 01

    Time the equity raise

    See peak equity by month. Raise the right amount, at the right time.

  2. 02

    Size the senior debt facility

    Test peak debt against facility size. Know the headroom.

  3. 03

    Tune the settlement tail

    Tail-loaded settlement profile mirrors how dwellings actually sell down.

  4. 04

    Hand it to finance

    CSV export ready for the finance team. The format they expect, ready to send.

Pre-flight checklist05 checks

  • Drawdown logic matches what a senior facility expects.

  • S-curve default sensible, with override per project.

  • Settlement waterfall tail-loaded, with deposits modelled.

  • Interest accrual monthly against drawn balance.

  • CSV export ready in the format finance teams expect.

Questions

Cash flow feasibility, answered.

How Popurise handles the cash flow feasibility.

Can I override the drawdown logic?

Yes. Use defaults for speed, override per project if your facility has bespoke rules.

Is the cashflow monthly or quarterly?

Monthly, with annual aggregation alongside.

Can I export to CSV?

Yes. The cashflow exports in a format finance teams expect.

Does it handle interest accrual?

Yes. Senior interest accrues monthly against the drawn balance.
