Profitability-Risk Reports
These reports display the percentage of sole proprietorships in each industry that report positive net income, and the proportion of revenue reported by profitable firms. Because owner compensation is most concentrated and reported as net profit in sole proprietorships, this category provides the most useful profit risk indicator.
This Net Profit Risk measure is good information for those considering a startup operation in a specific industry, but the Net Profit Risk metrics presented at BizStats are not the same as a failure rate, which measures the percentage of businesses that actually fail over a specified time period.
