Benchmark Data

LivePlan can provide you with benchmark data for your industry (or for all industries). Share some data from the industry benchmark comparison from your business plan:

Step 1

• Industry name and NAICS code, region and company size that you used as the benchmark comparison

Step 2

• Choose 2-3 benchmark metrics and report the data, your forecast, and the variance
• Provide an explanation as to why you think your forecast may vary from the benchmark. This will require that you look closely at the part of your forecast from which the data was derived.

My business is a Tea Lounge called "WE and TEA" and the competency I found on liveplan is Coffee and Tea Manufacturing (NAICS 311920)
