The Business Behind Your Business
Revitalise Your Business with a Health Check
In general, small businesses are not healthy. Here are some alarming statistics - Australian Small Business and Family Enterprises Ombudsman (ASBFEO) has found that 49% of small business owners make less than average wages, and two out of 5 micro and small businesses are not profitable.
Interestingly, there are also businesses who are thriving in the current conditions, at the same time these other businesses are failing. And these differences can be seen within the same industries. So what can be done to make more businesses into profitable, successful ventures? If you are concerned about the health of your business, what can you do to improve it?
The first step is to understand what is going on in the business and identify any problems. Seeking help from your business adviser is key.
Start the process today with a Business Health Check Quiz. It will highlight what is working well in your business, and areas that need improvement.
