Step 2: Enter your assumptions on the input tabs

Hardware as a Service Revenue Prediction

  • This will help you project sales from two sources: hardware sales and software subscription support. The model will first help you predict hardware sales based on a conversion rate of website visitors and returning customer upgrades. Software / support revenue is calculated based on hardware customers and a per-month fee. Revenue will automatically be calculated and updated on the financial statements. The revenue model also helps you calculate any per-user expenses and the cost of goods sold for hardware. 

Hardware as a Service Sales Operating Expenses

  • You will be guided to provide any other expenses in the operating expense tab, which gives some recommended line items and starting amounts to help. This model will pass through the expenses and cash flows to the financial statements automatically. You can provide your monthly overhead as either fixed amounts or you can choose to set them as a percentage of revenue for any variable costs that change each month.

Hardware and SaaS General Assumptions

  • The general assumptions sheet will require balance sheet values such as fixed assets, loans, investments, inventory assumptions, and accounts receivable assumptions. The template will have you input some basic data and then take care of the rest by calculating loan amortization, interest expense, depreciation expense, inventory purchases, etc. 

HaaS Salaries and Distributions

  • The salaries and distributions model calculates costs associated with salaried employees, including items like employer taxes and benefits for an overall cost picture.

Step 3: The model is automatically updated based on your assumptions

Hardware as a Service Financial Snapshot

  • The At-A-Glace tab shows you a financial overview in the form of different graphs, charts, ratios, and financial summaries, all ready to be copied into and enhance a pitch deck. 

HaaS Financial Pro Formas Tab

  • There are six separate Financial Statement tabs: the annual and monthly formats of the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet. Not to worry, our balance sheets always balance, automatically. 

Investor Dashboard Tab

  • The Investor Dashboard tab enables you, or anyone you’d like such as an investor, to see the effect of changing any or all of the main assumptions of the revenue prediction model. This tab provides the profit and loss statement from your model and a special, modified version that updates as you change the major assumptions. This enables you to see how volatile your model is to certain variables without the extra work of changing the data you already filled out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should my profit margins be on the hardware in a hardware as a Service business model?

Oftentimes companies that sell hardware plus software will choose to minimize profit margins on the hardware and focus on generating profits from ongoing software subscription fees.  Some companies may even purposefully lose money on the hardware sale, or give you the hardware for “free” and simply make up the difference over time through software sales.  Your specific decision likely depends on how much investment you are able to raise.  If you are able to raise enough capital to be able to subsidize the cost of the hardware for the end customer, you will likely want to do that because you will be able to grow faster and increase the number of active subscriptions.   

How to secure startup funding for a hardware as a service business?

One popular way to secure funding for a hardware as a Service business is to pre sell the hardware to customers through platforms like Kickstarter.  If you are able to pre sell enough units you might be able to use those customer deposits to fund the development and production of the first run of units.  Even if you need to raise additional capital to complete the first run, any funding you can secure through customer deposits will lower the amount of equity that you have to sell or debt that you have to take out to fund the rest of your startup costs.  

How much does it cost to start a hardware as a service business?

Hardware as a Service businesses are much more capital intensive than pure software businesses.  In order to calculate your potential startup costs you should develop a prototype and meet with a manufacturer to get a quote for the minimum order you can make for your first manufacturing run.  In addition, you will need to get a quote for the software development from a 3rd party software development agency, or determine how many software engineers you would need and for how long to build your MVP software.  The fact that manufacturers typically have large minimum orders, you can expect that hardware plus software businesses will cost substantially more to startup than software only businesses.
