 Hey, this is Chad Bondrick here from High University Libraries. If you're putting together a business plan or you're wanting to benchmark your company against others, you'll want to look at financial ratios for your company or for companies in the same industry as your company. This video is going to show you how to use BizMiner to find financial ratios on companies just like the one that you're researching or the one that you're putting together a business plan for. Here you go. So for my example, let's say I want to benchmark my company and pretend I have a bicycle shop or a bicycle repair shop or a shop that sells bicycles and I want to compare my company against other companies of similar size. So what I'm going to do is go over here and I'm actually just going to search for bicycle and then click go. You could also use the drill down over here and drill down by retail trade because I'm in a retail business and find it that way. I'm going to just search for bicycle there and then scroll down. I'm not a manufacturer. I'm actually a bicycle equipment store. So if I go and click on show industry reports there, if I want to compare my store against other stores in the same class, what I'm going to do is look at these industry financial profiles. And so let's say, for example, my store makes between $500,000 and a million dollars. So if I click there, click access now, I'm going to come to this screen here where I can actually click on the PDF or HTML format of this particular report. I'm just going to click on PDF and it's going to open the PDF document for me for stores just like mine that are in a similar sales classification. So I'm not comparing my store against a really big store that happens to sell bicycles like REI or one of those really big outfits. So I'm comparing to similar size outfits. It's a great way to do that. Sometimes these reports can take just a little bit to load, so you might want to open the tab up and then go to something else and come back because this one's taking probably a couple minutes once I've paused the video and started. So what it's doing is going and finding live statistics for you for that particular, for my criteria there. That's why it's taking a little bit of time. So once it loads, once again, we have an industry financial profile five years for companies in my same sales classification. So I'm able to compare things like business revenue, cost of sale, gross margin, salary wages, rent, all those kinds of things to two other companies who are in the same industry classification. This is also very useful if you're looking to create a business plan and you're going to go to the bank, get a loan, this is a great way to get that kind of information as well. It's a great, great resource for finding like sized companies and an average of their financial information. Hopefully this video gives you a better understanding of your topic and shows you how to research your topic.
