The modern alternative to development appraisal spreadsheets

Profivo replaces fragile Excel appraisal models with a purpose-built platform — same control, none of the broken formulas, version chaos, or audit risk.

Why developers switch from spreadsheets

No more broken models

A single wrong cell reference can quietly skew a whole appraisal. Profivo's calculation logic is fixed and tested — the numbers are always sound.

Minutes, not days

Stop rebuilding the same model for every site. Enter assumptions, and get cashflow, returns, and a report instantly.

Defensible to investors & banks

Consistent methodology and clean PDF reports build trust with lenders and investors — no more explaining a tangled spreadsheet.

Switching from spreadsheets

Can I import my existing spreadsheet?

You re-enter your assumptions once — revenue, costs, finance and timing — and Profivo builds the full model for you. Most users are up and running in under 15 minutes.

Is Profivo as flexible as Excel?

It covers the assumptions that matter for development appraisal — units, build costs, contingency, senior debt, mezzanine, VAT, escalation — while removing the parts of Excel that break.

What about my own custom formulas?

Profivo uses an industry-standard, validated calculation engine (S-curve drawdown, IRR, NPV, residual land value), so you don't maintain formulas at all — and the results are consistent every time.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at €79/month with a free 7-day trial. That's far less than the cost of a single appraisal error in a real spreadsheet.
