Running a business involves juggling countless daily tasks, from operations to management. But stepping back to assess your business health is crucial for long-term success. Whether you're a founder, business owner, managing director or CEO, regularly evaluating your company’s performance is essential to ensure sustainable growth and resilience.
To support New Zealand businesses, the Government offers a free, easy-to-use Healthy Business Checklist. This practical tool helps you assess key areas of your business and take proactive steps to strengthen your operations.
Key Areas to Review for a Stronger Business
Here’s how the checklist can help you build a more resilient and profitable business:
Ensure You Have the Right Business Insurance
Protect your assets, employees, and premises with comprehensive business insurance. Reviewing your coverage regularly ensures you're prepared for unexpected events and financial risks.
Develop a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
A robust business continuity plan identifies critical operations and potential risks, helping you recover quickly from disruptions. This is vital for maintaining business operations during economic uncertainty or emergencies.
Strengthen Your Cash Flow Management
Cash flow is the lifeblood of your business. Building a cash reserve or emergency fund helps you navigate tough times and maintain financial stability. Use cash flow forecasting tools to stay ahead.
Build and Maintain Strong Business Relationships
Strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees are key to business success. Prioritise communication, trust and collaboration to create a supportive network that drives growth.
