BizMiner for Business Valuation Professionals
Valuation professionals utilize our Financial Analysis series for balance sheet and financial ratio data on 10,000 lines of business. Others work with our Marketing Research series to help their clients identify historical trends and opportunities. The range of business statistics that we develop –the segmentation for 16,000 lines of business, the specific local market data – is simply unsurpassed. Our customers and clients include many valuation firms, Fortune 500 companies, the federal government and thousands of small businesses, which have discovered our talent to marshal data to tell a story with insight and integrity. We provide insight into performance trends in specific industry segments First and foremost, valuation professionals come to BizMiner looking for reliable, detailed Financial Analysis Profiles ($69) which provide three years of industry income statement, balance sheet, and twenty financial ratios assessing liquidity, profitability and efficiency; our Cash Flow Profiles ($69) offer detail income-expense statements, selected ratios and three-year cash flow tables for Startups and Sole Proprietorships. We offer these series for more than 10,000 lines of business in versions that analyze industry-wide measures, various sales class peer groups, small business corporations, sole proprietorships or startup segments, letting you model your plan on business experiences closely aligned with those of your client. Our local and national Marketing Research Profiles ($99) address a series of competitive trend issues in your client's specific line of business, including average sales, total area market volume, failure rates and high growth concentrations. The Profiles include separate measures for firms that have maintained operations for at least three years, comparing their performance with industry-wide averages. You can easily compare individual business performance to any of 16,000 industry segments in every state and most metro areas. Use our Marketing Plan Research series to bring your client's business goals in line with the experience of other businesses in the industry – or to sharpen the tasks needed to reach those objectives. In general, retail and service businesses find Local Marketing Plan Research Profiles most useful, since they reflect a particular local market area. Manufacturing, mail order and internet-based service or retail small businesses should look more toward the national comparisons in our US Marketing Plan Research series. One note -- if your market area doesn't have at least 25 firms in the analysis pool that is used to analyze the industry in that area, consider selecting either a larger area (state or national) or a broader, less specific industry category. We provide detailed industry performance information, and offer very specific data on local and regional markets. If your client is considering expansion into a new geographical market, our Marketing Research Profiles ($99) provide a quick, reliable way to assess the competitive landscape and the dynamism of the local industry, including local market volumes, average sales, failure rates and a host of other measures. Likewise, if your client is in a b-to-b market, the Marketing Plan Research series can help. Review your client's customer industries and you'll have information to decide which are growing and deserve more focus, whether a particular area should be targeted – or whether energies should be targeted to some other location or customer group. If you have expansion plans, each Marketing Plan Research Profile lets you analyze industry vitality in a different area. Our State Market Indexes examine the performance of a selected industry segment in all fifty states and DC. The State Market Index includes much of the information found in 51 separate state-level Marketing Plan Research Profiles. If you don't need a complete set of industry trend measures, our Industry Data Buffet (from $84) lets you select only the measures you want for up to four market areas. Both the Marketing Research and State Market Index series can be used to “paint a statistical picture” of the competitive market in specific areas. The Marketing Plan Research series includes an array of breakouts for the industry, small businesses and startups, including average sales trends, staffing, sales per employee failure rates and startup activity. The analysis creates a backdrop of competitive knowledge that lets you identify positives and problem areas like high failure rates, low sales growth in a specific market or efficiency levels reflected in sales per employee data. Both series also develop special “survivor” measures that help you assess where successful businesses in an industry usually land within three years. The “survivor” measures add a dimension to traditional industry “snapshot” analysis, which we also include in our Profiles. This multi-faceted view of the industry – “snapshot” and “survivor” images – is one of the great advantages of BizMiner analysis. Another is the range of industry and location detail. The third is the set of proprietary measures we offer that sharpen your understanding of what's to come: survivors sales, sales per employee measures, failure rates, and concentrations of high growth firms in a particular market area. These and other analytical advantages help you understand the current picture of your customer's line of business – and where it may be heading over the next few years. We can put over 2.5 million reports on 16,000 lines of business at your fingertips – for a fraction of retail costs. We offer Subscription Plans on both blanket access and bulk discount bases. Subscriptions are available for both in-house research or for use with clients. Other Tools for Valuation Professionals We have other tools to help you, too. You can view free samples of any of our profile series. The samples show you exactly what measures and format you can expect with any report of that series and version. If you are struggling with the measures in our reports, we provide free Marketing Research Edge and Financial Analysis Edge memos that help you understand how to understand and apply various measures. You can even read more about our analytical methodology. And of course, you are always welcome to contact us with questions. |
