What your Balance Sheet tells you


Your Balance Sheet can tell you:

  • How efficient you are in managing working capital (ie turning over stock, collecting money owed to the business, securing credit terms from suppliers).
  • How capable the business is at paying its liabilities as they become due for payment.
  • Your gearing, ie the borrowings relative to the money that you/shareholders have invested in the business.
  • The investment return you are getting from the business's profits (return on capital employed).
