The first part of your Business Consulting Plan is due this week. In preparation, research your company’s financial statements or other data that provides insight into their financials. If it is a small/local business request this information.
What is the company’s annual revenue and cash flow?
Is the company operating on the net positive or negative?
How might the company’s financial data provide insight into a challenge or opportunity the company might be facing?
How could you use this data to inform your recommendation in your business consulting plan?
