The Truth Most Business Owners Never Want To Hear...
43% of micro and small businesses operate at a loss.
Over 80% of small businesses in Australia fail.
Surprisingly, 50% of these were profitable at the time of closure.
Passion and hard work aren't always enough. Without clear strategies and systems, even profitable businesses can falter.
What This Score Really Means
If your score is between 45% AND 55%, here’s what’s likely happening behind the scenes:
Revenue’s up — but profit isn’t tracking
Your team’s growing — but things still land back on your plate
You’ve got systems — but no one sticks to them
You’re busy — but not always on the right things
You’re making decisions — but second-guessing every one
This is the danger zone: You’re doing too well to burn it down. But too stretched to scale cleanly.
Top 5 Reasons Businesses Fail
Many businesses plateau at this stage. They continue operating, perhaps even growing modestly. However, the owner often becomes the central point of operations, bearing the weight of multiple roles simultaneously.
If you don’t fix this now, it’ll stay like this for years. This isn’t burnout yet. But it’s on the runway.
