Table 1: Industry benchmarks


Industry by entity and business status

Note:
'n.a' indicates unavailable or unreliable data.

Instructions:

The PDF table you have downloaded contains all the ratios for the different industries.

Follow these steps to find financial ratios/benchmaks for a specific industry:

If you know the ANZSIC code for your industry:


1. Press CTRL + F or click on the binoculars icon on the toolbar. This will open a dialog box.
2. Type the code number in the space provided in the box. For example, if you are looking for 'child
care services' you will type in code: 87100.

If you wish to know the ANZSIC code for your industry, download the ATO publication, Business
Industry Codes 2000 from this website address:
http://www.ato.gov.au/download.asp?file=/content/businesses/downloads/BusInCode2000.pdf

3. Click on the 'Find' buttion. You will then be brought to the page(s) where the industry and its
calculated ratios are located.

OR

If you don't know the ANZSIC code for your industry:


1. Press CTRL + F or click on the binoculars icon on the toolbar. This will open a dialog box.
2. Type the main business activity or industry you are looking for in the space provided in the box. For
example, if you are looking for ‘child care services’, type ‘child care’.
3. Click on ‘Find’ (or press Enter on your keyboard). You will then be brought to a page where
the keywords you typed ('child care') first appear. If you click on the binoculars with the arrow icon
on the toolbar (or press Enter on the keyboard while the ‘Find’ dialogue box is open),
you will be brought to another page where the keywords 'child care' appear in another industry's title/label.
If no other industry has the words 'child care' in its title/label, you will be brought back to the page where
the keywords 'child care' first appeared in the PDF document.

Please note: Depending on what keywords you choose, there are circumstances wherein the keywords you
use can yield several industries. For example, if you are looking for a fishing business activity
and you type in the word 'fishing', then click on 'Find', you may be brought to a page listing the industry
Rock lobster fishing'. If you click on the binoculars with the arrow icon
on the toolbar (or press Enter on the keyboard while the ‘Find’ dialogue box is open), you will be brought to another
page listing the industry, 'Prawn fishing'. As long as you continue clicking on
you will be brought to other pages with industries having the word 'fishing' in their label.
