Build strength.

Manage risk.

Thrive through change.

The Risk and Resilience Tool helps businesses assess their ability to withstand shocks and continue to trade profitably. By combining financial benchmarking, productivity measures, and resilience analysis, it highlights areas of strength and weakness so leaders can take proactive steps to protect and grow their business.

The tool provides a personalised report that informs forward business planning and helps owners develop strategies to boost resilience, manage risk, and drive long-term success.

How it works

The diagnostic reviews performance across four key dimensions:

Financial Performance
Benchmarks financial performance against 100,000+ businesses.
Productivity
Uses business numbers to calculate productivity ratios.
Resilience Summary
Assesses personal and organisational attributes that make the business more or less resilient.
Risk Summary
Examines external factors that affect the business’s ability to withstand change.

The tool then:

Produces a living document report to inform business planning
Tracks resilience over time by providing an option to repeat summaries every 6–12 months
Provides a clear link between resilience improvements and financial performance
