The Annual Average Income & Expense Statement reflects income statement percentages and dollars for the specific industry segment analyzed (sole proprietorships or startup businesses). Sales are based on reports from more than 18 million US business establishments over the three-year analysis period. Income-Expense statements are individually calculated for each industry and segment.

The Cash Flow Profiles mirror the more streamlined financial reports of many startup firms and sole proprietorships. Small and startup businesses can also take advantage of the detailed asset and liability information and industry ratios available in the small sales class versions of the Financial Analysis Profiles, which are available in corporate and small business (<35 employee) reporting formats.

Dollar-based sales and other dollar-based data in this report reflect averages for sales of the industry segment you selected, not total industry-wide averages. As a result, sales levels may vary from year to year, depending on the mix of firms that fall within the selected segment. In addition to annual Income-Expense data, the Expense & Cash Flow series displays monthly cash flow tables and eight Financial Ratios.

All Direct Expenses includes Cost of Sales plus Total Expenses from the P1 Income & Expense table, less amortization, depreciation and home office expense. Net Cash adds back these non-cash expenses. This generally offers a more comprehensive picture of owner compensation, which will also vary with the actual proportion of owner labor.

Monthly Cash Flow tables below are calculated on a straight-line sales basis. Different sales patterns alter monthly cash flow (but not annual totals).
