Strategic Financial Analysis

Your entire business flows through the financial system. The Strategic Financial Analysis will help you ensure that yours is healthy.

With the help of a powerful financial analysis tool—the Strategic Financial Analysis—Missouri Small Business Development Center counselors, using your firm's past financial information, can provide a comprehensive financial fitness check-up for your company and can help you answer the following questions:

• How can you get more money out of your business?
• How do your margins compare to industry averages?
• What percentage of your sales equals your operating expenses?
• What is your ability to pay your bills without relying on your future income?
• Compared to the industry average, how efficient are you at running your company?
• You know what your competitors are charging; do you know how well they are financed?
• How many dollars of sales does it take to put a dollar in the bank?
• If you re making a profit, why don't you have any cash?
• Are you loaning your customers your money for too long?
• Why does it seem you re always short on cash?

• a detailed analysis of income statement and balance sheet
• comparisons to industry standards
• a complete ratio analysis from both a management and lender's perspectives
• operating capital analysis
• an interpretive narrative.
