  • For Management:
    • Three Statement Model: The three-statement model only provides for three financial statements: profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. It also specifies the preparation of subsequent schedules, namely depreciation, fixed assets, working capital, debt, and tax schedule.
    • Convertible Model (Model with Scenarios): The convertible model shows different results based on the adjustments made in the model scenario. It is generally prepared by highly skilled financial analysts who have a deep understanding of three primary situations: optimistic (management), actual (base), and pessimistic (conservative or investor).
  • For Raising Debt:
    • Credit Rating Model: The credit rating model, also termed the NBFC Credit Risk Management model, is generally prepared to assess the borrower’s creditworthiness and debt funding. Banks, NBFCs, or financial institutions are authorized to prepare a credit rating model to simplify the DSCR, Interest Coverage Ratio, Profit Margins, Debt Equity Ratio, etc.
    • Leveraged Buyout Model (LBO) : The leverage buyout model (LBO) is used to acquire the target company’s capital, debt, and equity shareholding raised from the banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions.
  • For Raising Private Equity: 
    • Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF): A discounted cash flow model (DCF) is the most prominent model that NBFCs must prepare for conducting valuation through the company’s cash flow. The DCF incorporates two types of valuation: Absolute and Relative Valuation.
    • Comparable Analysis Model : The comparable analysis model comprises three statements and a valuation model. The model provides for trading comparison by assessing the valuation of similar companies listed on the stock exchange.
  • For M&A :
    • Merger Model: The merger Model ensures that the financials and financial performance of target NBFCs are captured in mergers and takeovers by the acquirer NBFC.
  • For NBFC:
    • NBFC Co-Lending Model: The NBFC Co-lending model establishes a partnership between banks and NBFCs to mitigate risks. By tapping large markets and accessing bank funding options, the co-lending model ensures a promising future for NBFCs and Fintech companies.
    • NBFC Liquidity Risk Model: The NBFC liquidity risk model ensures adherence to the liquidity risk management guidelines and master direction for systematically important Non-deposit and deposit-taking NBFCs. The tool adopted reports contravention of funding by instrument or currency.
    • NBFC Loan Portfolio Model: The NBFC loan portfolio model ensures that the NBFC Loan Portfolio Audit is used to identify and track loan application trends and optimize the sales portfolio.

  • Step 3: Setting Object and Strategies: Next, every NBFC must prepare a set of different objects and strategies comprising the optimal capital structure. Strategic financial modeling is necessary to consider the cost, availability, growth, and diverse funding options in NBFCs.
  • Step 4: Financial Plan Forecasting: The next step in the NBFC financial modeling techniques allows the creation of a financial action plan that projects future revenues, expenses, and profits. This step develops a financial forecast that aligns with strategic NBFC financial planning.
  • Step 5: Review of Financial Plan: In the next step, a key financial indicator (KPI) must thoroughly monitor and review the proposed financial goals and actual financial performance before implementing the financial plan. The review necessitates updating the strategic NBFC financial planning.
  • Step 6: Implementation of Financial Plan: The final step allows the implementation of the proposed financial plan to establish financial control over the NBFC. Further, this stage requires the implementation of consistent financial decisions made by the stakeholders, investors, etc.
  • Step 7: Outcomes of Financial Modeling: In the next step, after the successful implementation of the NBFC financial modeling, the key financial indicators must review the three outcomes, including the financial statements, operational cash flow, and Balance sheet of the NBFC.
