In business, a company or firm is either moving forward or backwards. It is almost impossible to have a firm within an industry that has been in the same financial position for more than one trading period. The competition that exists within industries is important as it ensures that firms come up with new ways of staying afloat in the industry. One of the key aspects that shape effective growth in firms is ensuring that a company is able to minimize the expenses that are involved in production while ensuring that the revenue generated from the final commodity is of high quality. With this in mind, companies have to balance between the productions of quality commodities through the use of fairly priced materials. Due to the nature of competition, the various firms in various industries have attached so much importance in financial forecasting. Company`s today are able to analyze their stability and future through evaluating their financial positions. This kind of analysis is one of the most dependable means of forecasting in business.

Some of these firms include LAMA, Glaxo, and MBa.
