Business owners - Look at this

[ok180]

Stumbled across this, type in your competitors business names or even yours. Most of the time it comes up with how much sales they are doing. Bit of an eye opener.

Is nothing private anymore?

I'm not sure where the figures are from. But it's not very accurate...

All I see here are listed companies or large multinationals. How is this relevant for business owners (except if you're a shareholder of a listed company)?

Apparently my business has had sales of $12m! Cool. Bit innacurate though

Mine had sales of $0.57. Truth is more like 3m

Mine is "no record found"

hmmm so it's not accurate then? Mine didn't display any sales. Some competitors I thought could be quite accurate but there was one who had huge sales and I was thinking wtf? Started to question what I was doing wrong lol.

Interesting.
I checked 2 associated companies and their 'sales' figures were completely wrong so I don't think the sales figures are accurate but it seems the company structures/members etc is from the example I could see.
I can find my DH but not me so I don't think it's terribly up to date - especially the director of a company who's been dead for 14mths.

If I can find someone to buy my business for the proposed $2.34M, I'm happy to sell!

Fire sale! I'll sell for half that amount!!!
