Create or update data for a business plan
Many businesses need reliable, detailed industry
benchmarks they can incorporate
into their business plan. Your bank or investor is likely to require a comprehensive
set of industry benchmarks, including:
- Three years of income statement and balance sheet benchmarks
- Corresponding three-year financial ratios that examine industry liquidity,
profitability and efficiency measures.
