As the year draws to a close, many small business owners are taking stock of their business, basking in their successes and trying to comprehend their mistakes. Unfortunately a big picture view does not always immediately reveal itself– a thorough understanding of your business requires at least some analysis and introspection.

Every small business owner should identify the specific needs and constraints of their business to determine the optimal analysis required to assess its financial performance.

Thanks for the overview and for sharing it with the BizSugar community. I'm curious. If you operate a virtual business from your laptop, would it still be advisable to calculate the cost of a brick and mortar office so you can see profit versus expense in the event you would ever need to set one up?
