# Financial Projections
|
||
|
||
Turash financial projections reflect industrial B2B SaaS realities: longer sales cycles, higher customer acquisition costs, and slower ramp than pure SaaS, but with higher lifetime value and stronger retention once customers are onboarded.
|
||
|
||
## 1. Unit Economics Fundamentals
|
||
|
||
### Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
|
||
|
||
**Tier-Specific LTV Calculations**:
|
||
|
||
**Basic Tier** (€35/month):
|
||
- **Monthly Revenue**: €50 (blended with transaction fees)
|
||
- **Average Retention**: 48 months (4 years)
|
||
- **Annual Churn**: 15% (month-to-month contracts)
|
||
- **Gross LTV**: €50 × 48 = €2,400
|
||
- **Net LTV**: €2,200 (after 8% transaction costs)
|
||
- **Upsell Revenue**: 25% upgrade to Business → €4,000 additional
|
||
- **Adjusted LTV**: €2,500
|
||
|
||
**Business Tier** (€120/month):
|
||
- **Monthly Revenue**: €150 (with transactions)
|
||
- **Average Retention**: 64 months (5.3 years)
|
||
- **Annual Churn**: 10% (higher commitment)
|
||
- **Gross LTV**: €150 × 64 = €9,600
|
||
- **Net LTV**: €9,200
|
||
- **Upsell Revenue**: 15% upgrade to Enterprise → €21,000 additional
|
||
- **Transaction Revenue**: €500/year × 5.3 = €2,650
|
||
- **Adjusted LTV**: €12,000
|
||
|
||
**Enterprise Tier** (€400/month):
|
||
- **Monthly Revenue**: €500
|
||
- **Average Retention**: 80 months (6.7 years)
|
||
- **Annual Churn**: 5% (annual contracts, switching costs)
|
||
- **Gross LTV**: €450 × 80 = €36,000
|
||
- **Net LTV**: €34,000
|
||
- **Multi-site Expansion**: 60% add 1.5 facilities → €42,000 additional
|
||
- **Transaction Revenue**: €2,000/year × 6.7 = €13,400
|
||
- **Adjusted LTV**: €50,000
|
||
|
||
**Blended LTV (Year 3 Mix)**:
|
||
- **Customer Mix**: 650 Basic + 450 Business + 100 Enterprise = 1,200 customers
|
||
- **Weighted LTV**: €4,608 average
|
||
- **LTV Range**: €2,500-50,000 depending on tier and expansion
|
||
|
||
### Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
|
||
|
||
**Channel-Specific CAC (Year 3 Blended)**:
|
||
|
||
**Organic Channels** (€300-400 effective CAC):
|
||
- **Free Tier Network Effects**: €0 direct cost, €150-300 attributed to conversions
|
||
- **Content Marketing**: €400-600 per customer
|
||
- **SEO**: €250-400 per customer
|
||
- **Volume**: 1,500 free users → 300 conversions
|
||
|
||
**Paid Channels** (€1,000-1,500 CAC):
|
||
- **LinkedIn Ads**: €500-1,250 per customer
|
||
- **Industry Events**: €800-1,600 per customer
|
||
- **Partnership Referrals**: €200-750 per customer (lowest CAC)
|
||
|
||
**Blended CAC Evolution**:
|
||
- **Year 1**: €946 (industrial sales cycle complexity)
|
||
- **Year 2**: €762 (improved efficiency)
|
||
- **Year 3**: €474 (mature channels, utility partnerships)
|
||
|
||
**CAC Optimization Strategy**:
|
||
- **Utility Partnerships**: 20-30% revenue share reduces CAC to €500-800
|
||
- **Municipal Channels**: Free tier promotion reduces paid acquisition needs
|
||
- **Network Effects**: Free tier conversions at €0 marginal cost
|
||
|
||
### LTV/CAC Ratio Analysis
|
||
|
||
**Industrial B2B Reality**: 3-5:1 ratio reflects longer sales cycles and higher touch requirements
|
||
- **Year 1**: 4.2:1 (strong foundational economics)
|
||
- **Year 2**: 4.8:1 (improving efficiency)
|
||
- **Year 3**: 9.7:1 (mature platform economics)
|
||
|
||
**Payback Period by Tier**:
|
||
- **Basic**: 29 months (higher CAC offset by lower price)
|
||
- **Business**: 10 months (optimal balance)
|
||
- **Enterprise**: 9 months (volume discounts, long retention)
|
||
- **Blended**: 15 months (industrial segment reality)

|
||
|
||
## 6. Key Financial Metrics
|
||
|
||
### Unit Economics Health
|
||
|
||
**LTV/CAC Ratio**: 3-5:1 (industrial B2B standard, higher than pure SaaS)
|
||
**Payback Period**: 15 months (blended across tiers)
|
||
**Gross Margins**:
|
||
- Year 1: -144%
|
||
- Year 2: -143%
|
||
- Year 3: -56%
|
||
- Year 4+: 20%+
|
||
|
||
### Customer Metrics
|
||
|
||
**Annual Churn by Tier**:
|
||
- Basic: 15% (month-to-month)
|
||
- Business: 10% (higher commitment)
|
||
- Enterprise: 5% (annual contracts, switching costs)
|
||
|
||
**Expansion Revenue**:
|
||
- Enterprise Multi-site: 25% add facilities within 12 months
|
||
- Additional Facility Value: €320/month per facility
|
||
|
||
### Revenue Concentration Risk
|
||
|
||
**Customer Concentration**: No single customer >5% of revenue
|
||
**Revenue Stream Diversification**:
|
||
- Subscription: 75% (primary growth driver)
|
||
- Transaction: 12% (outcome alignment)
|
||
- Municipal: 13% (stable base)
|
||
|
||
## 7. Financial Risk Mitigation
|
||
|
||
### Revenue Risk Management
|
||
|
||
**Subscription Dependence**: Target 70% by Year 3 through transaction/municipal growth
|
||
**Customer Churn**: Annual contracts reduce churn 50%, proactive retention programs
|
||
**Concentration Risk**: Geographic diversification, no single market >30% of revenue
|
||
|
||
### Cost Management
|
||
|
||
**Engineering Efficiency**: Cloud infrastructure scales with revenue, managed services reduce overhead
|
||
**Sales Optimization**: Partnership channels reduce CAC, network effects improve organic growth
|
||
**Operational Leverage**: Platform automation reduces customer acquisition costs over time
|
||
|
||
### Market Risk Mitigation
|
||
|
||
**Economic Sensitivity**: Transaction revenue correlates with industrial activity, municipal revenue provides stability
|
||
**Regulatory Risk**: EU grant alignment provides counter-cyclical funding opportunities
|
||
**Competition Risk**: Network effects and data moats create sustainable competitive advantages
