WHAT IS a BUSINESS HEALTH CHECK? All businesses will go through periods of “health” and “illness”. A Business Health Check is a diagnostic tool that, when used in the hands of a professional, will be able to determine the current health of the business, the onset of possible “illnesses” and what can be done to prevent or cure the “illnesses”. WHY HAVE a BUSINESS HEALTH CHECK? Doctors recommend that a person gets a checkup at least once a year, regardless if they feel sick or not. The aim of having a regular checkup is to gauge a person’s current state of health and to assist in the early detection of possible future health issues. Through this early detection, illnesses can either be avoided or cured. Any doctor will tell you that the earlier an illness is detected, the better the chances of it being cured. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to measure yourself against what your health was like during your last checkup. Have you improved or has your health deteriorated more than what aging allows for?
