Managing for Today and Tomorrow Business Planning Part Two Review of Financial Documents
Review of Homework • What did the Balance Sheets tell us? • Did the five year trends indicate anything? • How did last year’s income compare to five years ago? • Other things you discovered?
Evaluating Your Business • Efficiency • Size • Debt My milk stool has three legs
Efficiency • How well does the business utilize its resources to generate profits • Getting a bigger truck when you are loosing money on every load you haul won’t help much!
Size • Gross income : if you are going to add more people to support is the operation big enough to do that? • Do you need to add more enterprises or expand current enterprises?
Debt • The business may be able to serve current debt without any problems but if we expand the operation and use borrowed money, then what does the operation look like? • Look at the ability of the business to service additional debt.
