Programme Description
What’s the current worth of investment made in the business so far?
How strong is the actual financial position of the company’s operations?
Can shareholders, investors and financiers develop a confidence or still hold their confidence in the business?

This training will help the delegates to understand:
- the total process of financial analysis
- make informed opinions on how to grow the business
- use the financial analysis information to attract the interest of investors, if and when that is relevant for the business
- value the price or worth of the company’s stock if that is desirable.
