Abstract

Business Risk Business risk is the risk, facing the investor, that a company's management will be able to generate sufficient net operating profit, after tax and before payment of fixed interest. The bottom line profit, i.e. net of interest, takes into account financial risk as well; however here we are not concerned with the financial gearing of the company, but solely in assessing business risk.
