🎤 Speaker:
- Key Speaker: Mr. Ashok Jha, Webinar Convenor, IIA Delhi | Ex-Banker & MSME Growth Coach, Director, Early Grow Advisory Services Pvt Ltd
Objective of the Webinar:
Is your business truly healthy — even if sales and profits are growing? Turnover and profit are the two numbers most business owners watch first, but they don't tell the whole story. A business can show rising revenue and still be exposed to cash flow stress, mounting debt, or inefficiencies that quietly erode long-term stability. This session aims to give entrepreneurs a practical framework for assessing — and improving — the underlying health of their business, beyond the headline numbers of turnover and profit.
Session Agenda:
1. Cash Flow & Profitability:
Understanding the difference between reported profit and actual cash in hand, and why a profitable business can still run into cash flow trouble.
2. Financial Discipline & Debt:
Managing borrowing responsibly so debt supports growth instead of straining it, covering working capital cycles and debt-servicing capacity.
3. Operational Efficiency:
Identifying inefficiencies that quietly eat into margins as a business scales, and building cost discipline into day-to-day operations.
4. Sustainable Growth:
Building growth that the business's financial foundation can actually support, rather than growth that outpaces the resources behind it.
5. Corrective Measures for Business Challenges:
Practical, actionable steps to course-correct before a warning sign becomes a crisis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Health Assessment
What does "business health beyond turnover and profit" mean?
It means judging a business by indicators beyond top-line sales and reported profit — such as cash flow strength, debt levels and financial discipline, operational efficiency, and whether growth is sustainable — since a business can show rising turnover and still be financially fragile.
