Welcome to the Minnesota Business Analysis (MBA) Web site.

The MBA contains financial data collected from Small Businesses throughout Minnesota. The reports will show average Income Statements, Average Balance Sheets, Ratios, and Trends for these small businesses. The Reports can be sorted by NAICS codes, sales size, asset size, counties, and by population of the area they serve. The Report brings up the client’s/student’s data along side of the Report they are requesting. By being able to sort this data by these different categories, you are able to make comparisons to almost any type of business with the business you are comparing it to.

The data that is in this database was collected by Small Business Management Instructors, Small Business, Development counselors, and accountants from their clients/students. No data will be entered by end users. All data is reviewed by the database administrator before being included in reports. The object of controlling who is entering the data is to control the integrity of the data in this database. The data is on a secure server so that no one will ever be able to see the individual data of any business. No individual data will be posted unless there are at least 5 businesses comprising the report. The database will keep a clients/students business data from year to year so that they can see their business’s trend as well as seeing the trend in their NAICS code.

We want to give a special thanks to 3 sponsors that made a difference in getting this project started. The three are Citizens Bank of Hutchinson Minnesota, Wells Fargo of Faribault/Owatonna, and Riverland Community College. Each of these organizations donated funding to start this project. Without that initial funding, this project would have never gotten off of the ground.
