It will also help with established businesses to improve profitability by pin-pointing areas where costs and expenses deviate from the national norm. Industry averages of costs and expenses, and profitability based on IRS surveys are provided to compare with your actual figures. Average percentages shown are considered only as guidelines. When revenues are low, fixed expenses will probably be higher in relation to profits than when revenues are high. Also geographical location will affect these percentages. They should be used only as targets, and many successful businesses may deviate substantially. This is a tool to teach you to analyze your own figures and to assist in preparing your Business Plan.
