Webinar: Financial Benchmarking Report
Important benchmarking data includes comparative financial ratios on key performance measures, such as return on asset, asset turnover, cash cycle and inventory turnover; employee and space productivity measures; income and balance sheet breakouts; sales mix data; and advertising and marketing information, among other metrics. Michael Becher explains the data included in this report and how it provides unique insight to the financial side of your business.
Watch NowMost firearms retailers are small businesses that have limited opportunity to compare their financials with similar companies. That has been a changing trend, thanks to the report issued by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) on financial benchmarking that provides firearms retailers with the opportunity to compare their business performance to companies similar to their own, take advantage of trends in the market and plan for growth.
This report provides hard-to-find detailed income statement and balance sheet financials for retailers to match their figures against to gauge their company’s operating strengths and weaknesses.
Not yet in the firearms retail business, but working on a business plan?
This report is also very helpful to those planning to open a retail establishment as it allows them to estimate what returns they can expect, which is useful when trying to obtain funding.
