Take this quick 10-question self-assessment to understand where you stand financially and identify areas for improvement.
Time: Approximately 3-5 minutes
No right or wrong answers - just honest reflection on your current financial habits.
A straight look at the financial health of your business rather than its turnover: whether cash flow is predictable, what your margins really are after everything, how much reserve you hold, and whether anyone is planning beyond the current quarter. You get a score and a roadmap of what to fix first.
Profit is what the accounts say you earned; cash flow is what actually reached the bank and when. Profitable businesses fail regularly because money owed to them arrives later than money they owe.
Three to six months of fixed costs is the common guidance. The right number depends on how predictable your collections are.
