The Retail Owners Institute encourages retailers to monitor the trends of the key financial indicators of your store's performance.  Watching these key ratios can provide important early warnings of needed changes. (More info here)

Then, take advantage of The ROI's presentation of five year trends for 6 key ratios for 52 separate retail segments.  Compare your store's performance to others in your particular retail niche. This can provide valuable perspective - and even peace of mind! - for retail owners.

The segments featured at The ROI reflect the definitions and designations of the North American Industrial Classification System. Retailers may need to examine the benchmark numbers in more than one segment to get perspective on their own store's performance, particularly if their store does not exactly fit the NAICS category.

"May I take you to lunch?"
If word gets out that your Debt-to-Worth ratio is below 1:1, like 0.7:1, bankers gladly will pay for you to have a fancy lunch. Similarly, if your Debt-to-Worth ratio is near 1:1, he/she will still pay for your lunch...but a more modest one.
However, if your D/W ratio is above 1:1, like at 3:1, you should expect to pay for the lunch. Higher than 3:1? Maybe they'll sit long enough for a soda, but don't count on it.
