SME operating performance / Daniel Seens.: Iu188-121/2015E-PDF

This report is about financial and operating performance. It is aimed at shedding light on how Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) generate and protect their money. One of the best ways of understanding how SMEs are performing is to monitor trends in financial and operating data. In deciding what data to follow, the objective was to cover as many areas of analysis as possible. Some interesting but non-financial measures were excluded as they are widely published by Industry Canada elsewhere. The areas of analysis highlight much of what is happening operationally among SMEs on an aggregate level and were organized into five broad categories: sales growth, profitability, efficiency, capital utilization, and financial strength.
