This page outlines planned additions and modifications to the site. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the site then please do not hesitate to contact our webmaster.

Business Portal

Our business portal will provide secure access to a range of practical business articles and operational information for Business Solutions Shop subscribers. It will also provide access to the Business Activity Audit Database for Business Solutions Shop clients.

Business Activity Audit Database

This revolutionary benchmarking tool will allow Business Solutions Shop clients and subscribers to access relevant and accurate financial performance information across a range of business types, geographical areas and individual financial years.

The business performance data is confidentially gathered from those business units within the prescribed and agreed Client boundaries and is formatted by the BAA system to allow easy comparison between the business units themselves (e.g. TBSS091, TBSS092 etc.), within the particular business category (newsagents) and between different business categories (newsagents and book shops) and the business types (e.g. retail, wholesale, manufacturing & services).

The BAA database will have available a range of pre-programmed business performance reports for downloading.
Clients will be able to select from a range of 'database access and reporting package' subscription fees based on the increased level of report criteria desired and the size of their database.

The Business Activity Audit reports present business performance information as a consistent range of common and frequently used key financial and operational performance indicators. This format allows direct and simple comparison of these key indicators across and amongst participating business operations - this product supercedes known existing benchmarking tools.

New Business Performance Analysis Tools

Visitors to this site will notice the current BPA tools (the two P & L tools and the Business target Generator) are user-friendly, easy to operate and deliver meaningful business outputs. Coupled with the ability to automatically send your confidential information to the "Business Doctor", these tools have become popular with small business owners who want to learn more about performance analysis and improving their company profitability, and can get expert advice and help at the push of a button.

Popular demand has lead to the development of a range of new tools that provide even more help to allow small business owners to tackle the vast number of operational challenges they constantly face. The new tools in our development pipeline, and due "out" by early 2007 are: -

A debtor’s collection rate tool which shows impact on cash flow - a tool that assesses the financial impact of increases or decreases in debtor collection performance and relates the cash implications to either - (i) needing to fund the value of dropping cash inflow or, (ii) deciding where best to use the increasing cash inflow to better improve business performance.
A cash flow preparation tutor - a table designed to introduce the disciplines and logic required to prepare cash flow status reports in MS Excel. This tool is not designed to actually prepare a cash flow report, however, if the user applies accurate current cash status and usage numbers to the table, it will generate a useful cash position output.

Business Information Bulletins

Regular additions are made to our series of commercially relevant practically and informative business articles. This has been styled around the demands of our customers and you only pay for those articles you want. Current articles are: -

How do I make more sense of my financial reports?
Why do I keep running short of cash?
Why do I need a business plan?
What are Key Performance Indicators and how do I use them?

E-Learning

Regular additions will continue to be made to our series of business education tutorials. These topics are deemed to be of either of general commercial interest to the individual or are seen by the individual as having specific relevance to their business operation. Like the Business Information Bulletins, you only pay for the modules you want.
