Project template walkthrough
This page walks through the built-in Corporate Capital & Debt Financing Suite project template (capital-debt-financing) — choose it under New Project. File names, figures and run times are an illustrative example, not a benchmark; your results depend on your files and the model you select.
Domain: Executive Finance & Capital Strategy
Target Roles: Founder, CEO, Chief Financial Officer, VP of Finance
Example run time: 20 Minutes
1. The Executive Challenge
Growing enterprises require capital either through Equity Financing (venture capital, institutional angels) or Debt Financing (commercial bank credit facilities, SBA loans). Both routes require weeks of intensive modeling:
- For Venture Capital: Institutional investors expect a robust 5-year financial model, dynamic Cap Table dilution scenarios across liquidation preferences, and a compelling 12-slide pitch deck.
- For Commercial Lending Committees: Bank credit officers demand a formal Credit Feasibility Study and an amortization schedule proving a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) > 1.35.
2. Track A: Securing a $500,000 Commercial Bank Term Loan
Step 1: Ingest Raw Documents into Sources
Add financial history and supplier quotes to the project's Sources (files you add are kept in sources/uploads/):
Audited_Financial_Statements_2024_2025.xlsx: 2-year historical balance sheets, cash flow statements, and P&L.Equipment_Vendor_Quote_and_Specs.pdf: Equipment manufacturer quote for a $500,000 automated manufacturing line with expected +35% throughput increase.Executed_Customer_Contracts_Q4.pdf: Signed purchase orders and master service agreements confirming forward revenue.
Step 2: Run the Commercial Credit Prompt
We are applying for a $500,000, 48-month commercial bank term loan at a 7.5% annual interest rate to finance equipment expansion in `Equipment_Vendor_Quote_and_Specs.pdf`:
1. Build a 48-month loan amortization schedule (equal monthly principal amortization + declining interest curves).
2. Construct a monthly cash-flow projection incorporating our historical performance and the signed customer purchase orders.
3. Compute the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) for each operating year. Ensure the DSCR exceeds the underwriting threshold of 1.35x.
4. Export the complete bank-standard Credit Feasibility Study PDF and the transparent Excel model.Step 3: What AMBA Executes Autonomously
- Ingests historical financials into the local analytical database via
accounting_load_file. - Computes 48-month principal amortization ($10,416/month) and interest curves.
- Determines Year 1 DSCR (1.52x), Year 2 DSCR (1.68x), and Year 3 DSCR (1.86x).
