CASH FLOW MODEL -- logo

Built from Real-World Operating and Transaction Experience

Cash Flow Model is operated by PRODUITS DE L’EQUIPE LLC, an independent company with experience spanning upstream oil & gas operations, acquisitions, structured finance, commodity trading, hedging, risk management, and cash-flow analysis. The CFM was built from that experience to help users analyze acquisitions, startups, expansions, operational decisions, and funding structures before capital is deployed.

The CFM was developed from decades of real-world operating and transaction experience involving:

  • acquisitions,

  • capital raises,

  • bank financing,

  • operational restructuring,

  • liquidity management,

  • hedging strategies,

  • and long-term cash-flow planning.

PRODUITS leadership has participated in transactions ranging from approximately $1 million to over $100 million while helping structure acquisitions, financing arrangements, operational strategies, and capital allocation decisions across multiple business environments. Those experiences ultimately contributed to the development of Cash Flow Model and its focus on liquidity, survivability, funding structure analysis, and capital discipline.

This experience includes:

  • raising private equity capital,

  • securing senior secured bank financing commitments,

  • developing proprietary cash-flow and risk-management models,

  • building multinational operating and management teams,

  • and evaluating businesses under real-world operating conditions.

Cash Flow Model was built from the belief that capital should be allocated based on analysis rather than optimism. Businesses should not rely solely on projections, growth assumptions, or superficial financial summaries when evaluating acquisitions, startups, expansions, funding structures, or operational decisions.

Rather, businesses should understand:

  • how cash moves,

  • how debt affects operations,

  • how liquidity changes over time,

  • how funding structures impact survivability,

  • how acquisitions and expansion plans affect future liquidity,

  • and how operational decisions ultimately affect the Ending Bank Balance.

The objective of Cash Flow Model is to help users analyze opportunities before capital is deployed, evaluate alternative assumptions, test funding structures, and better explain their business or project when interacting with bankers, lenders, investors, or strategic partners.

Cash Flow Model reflects the broader view that operational discipline, capital discipline, and informed decision-making should work together before capital is committed.
