Help! My business isn’t breathing!
Sales are the oxygen companies need to survive.  How are your sales?
- What quantity of product or service needs to be sold monthly to remain viable?
- Have you budgeted for different sales results?
- Do you know your breakeven sales amount?
At Person CPA Group, we believe business vitality can be measured by examining 5 areas of business. We call the analysis process the Person Huff Profitability Check-Up
- Breakeven Sales Analysis
- Taxable Income Analysis
- Balance Sheet Strength Analysis
- Gross Profit Margin Analysis
- Overhead Expense Analysis
Now, not all 5 areas have the same importance to all businesses at all times during their lifecycle. In other words, a company that just launched will be focused on Breakeven Analysis or Overhead Expense Analysis. Mature companies will have established an understanding of these numbers over the years.
When I was in the Marine Corp, we learned that the first step in life saving process is Start the Breathing. The same principle applies in business.
Start the breathing=Breakeven Sales Analysis
If your company can’t achieve enough sales to break even, no more analysis is needed. The company isn’t viable. Sales are the oxygen companies need to survive. Knowing the breakeven point of your business is essential to its survival.
