| Currency: | Euro | ||||||
| Excel Model: | Inputs in blue | ||||||
| Calculations in black | |||||||
| Approach: | Top Down Approach (from the market) | ||||||
| BP Period: | We used 5 years to ensure a sufficient forecast period with a second location in the third year | ||||||
| Revenue Assumptions | |||||||
| Year 3 - New Location in Rome | We plan to open a location in Rome in the third year. We assume that based on the characteristics of the traffic and infrastructure that we can achieve a similar growth profile as in Milan. | ||||||
| Target Population | We assume that in the first year we can capture 4,4% of the total population in Milan; Target age is 15 - 64. Total population of Milan is 1,36 Mio. | Age Group | # Demographics Profile Italy | # Driver licence | Target % | ||
| Population of Milan with Age Structure of Italy | Age 0 - 14 | 13.8% | 0% | ||||
| Age 15 - 24 | 9.8% | 70.0% | 10% | ||||

| Age 55 - 64 | 12.4% | 75.0% | 5% | ||||

| Data Source: Italy Demographics Profile 2014 (http://www.indexmundi.com/italy/demographics_profile.html) | |||||||
| Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | ||||
| Increase in Target Percentage | We assume the target percentage to increase as follows: | 0.8000% | 1.0000% | 1.200% | 1.400% | ||
| Driving Price | We assume the average subscription price would be 0.10 € per minute. In addition there are 2 zones, city center and suburban areas. (Price calculation uses the factor 1.4 for city center/ 1 for suburban areas). There will be a sign-up fee of 29.99€ per registration (Not in the first two weeks). | price per min. | 0.10 € | price per sign-up | 29.99 € | ||
| Drives per scooter per day | We assume 25 drives per scooter per day with 60% of all drives in the city center and 40% in suburban areas. | ||||||
| Costs Assumptions | |||||||
| Direct cost | Due to the use of electic scooters we have relatively high energy expenses. The average price per kWh is €0.20. Per 100km our scooter need 4 kWh, which leads to an energy expense per 100km of €0.80 In additionto this the average life cycle per battery is about 500 charges, a new one costs €200. We assume we can drive 50km per charge which leads to a cycle costs per 100km of €0.80. This results in a total of €1.60. | ||||||
| Station renting | We assumed that we pay €10,000 per station. Our stations are located in the whole city, mostly on sidewalks. We not assumed that the city of Milan provides us rentfree, but in other countries we know that there is support for "environmental-transport companies". (This is why we assume reduced rental fees). At the stations the clients can change charged batteries against empty ones. | ||||||
| Insurance costs | We assumed that we would have insurance costs of €300 per scooter per year which covers every accident and spares but accounts for the deductible of the users. | ||||||
| Promotional Costs per year | We based the amount we will spend to promote the company the assumtions of giving away free months of sign-up fees for each €29,99 and social media advertisment. In year 3 we will expand to more cities. Therefore our social media advertisement will double. | ||||||
| Other Costs | We assumed that the average leasing cost for a electro scooter will be around €2,500 (Including a discount due to bulk orders and visibility). Due to the order size we expect to be able to bring down the cost per scooter to €2,000. We order 500 scooter in year 1; additional 300 in year 2 and from year 3-5 addional 200 new scooters per year. Furthermore we assume, that we need two helmets per scooter, which have average leasing costs of €150. clothing item to purchase from low end to designer would be around €200.00. | ||||||
| Create Website | We assume that it will cost €30,000.00 to create our website and €5,000.00 for expenses to update and maintain the website for following years | ||||||
| Wages | We assumed that we would have in total 20 workers. 12 as mechanics, 5 in the client-service department, 1 financial officer and 2 admistrative worker for marketing and hr. We assume to pay a average wage of 24.000€ per year. | ||||||
| Our Salary | We assumed that we pay ourself no salary, because it is our dream and our idea which should not affected our project in the first 5 years. | ||||||
| Technology Set-up costs | We assumed that we have €100.000 of technology set-up costs to let our system work well. This amaount is similar with the amount BMW (x-drive); cartogo and enjoy payed. Once the technology is setted, there will no following costs. | ||||||
