“Having a snapshot of where your business is, can help you get to where you are going.”
Periodically using the Business Snapshot Tool ™ will help your business sustain profitable growth.
This concept is not a new business concept; however, it is often overlooked practice among owners of rapidly growing businesses.
The beginning of the year is a traditional time to access your condition, make resolutions and commit to new and healthier practices. It should also be a time to reevaluate your business’ health and your marketplace opportunities.
Periodic business assessments are essential to the well-being of a company. Understanding the economic and operational drivers within your company can mean the difference between success and failure. Business Finance Solutions has developed a tool that helps owners of small to mid-sized businesses assess their strengths and weaknesses in four key areas. Using our Business Snapshot tool™ an owner can evaluate the current condition of his business and help identify areas that need improvement.
How to use the Business Snapshot Tool to Analyze your business’ strengths and weaknesses
Our easy to use business assessment tool reviews four of the most important characteristics of your business.
The four broad areas of your that are addressed in the Business Snapshot Tool are:
- Your company’s management strengths and weaknesses
- The business problem being solved
- Your company’s solution to the business problem being solved
- Financial performance and measurement
Although this list may seem fundamental to some, there are key indicators within each section that determine the exact condition of your business. Sam Thacker, co-owner of Business Finance Solutions with 30+ years of business improvement and banking experience will review these areas with our guests at our monthly Meetup on Thursday, January 28, 2016.
