Business Financial Health Self-Assessment

A Candid Tool to Help Business Owners Understand Where They Stand—and What to Do Next

Financial health isn’t just about profit margins and revenue targets—it’s about resilience, clarity, and the ability to make smart decisions under pressure. The Business Financial Health Self-Assessment from Capacity Building Solutions gives leaders a structured, easy-to-use tool to evaluate their business’s financial health and identify areas for improvement.

Whether you’re building momentum or navigating uncertainty, this resource helps business owners examine their operations honestly and make informed choices about how to move forward.


Why This Assessment Matters

Too many entrepreneurs lead with instinct but manage finances with guesswork. This self-assessment is built to change that by helping business leaders:

  • Measure their comfort and competence with core financial practices

  • Identify weak spots in cash flow, budgeting, debt management, and forecasting

  • Uncover overlooked risk factors or underused financial tools

  • Set clear priorities for where to focus time, support, and strategic resources

It’s not about passing or failing—it’s about gaining awareness and using it to lead better.


What’s Inside

The assessment includes targeted, multiple-choice questions that explore key areas like:

  • Understanding and analyzing financial statements

  • Managing business debt and cash reserves

  • Forecasting revenue and expenses

  • Monitoring profitability and expense control

  • Accessing financial resources and expert support

  • Confidence in making informed financial decisions

Each section invites reflection and builds a fuller picture of the business’s financial position. Business owners can use the results as a foundation for conversations with advisors, leadership teams, or lenders.
