See where profit is leaking away in your business
Our research found that profit leakage occurs in nine out of ten companies surveyed, on average amounting to 9 % of turnover. How those 9 % are distributed across the seven areas examined is set out in our Profit Leakage study, 2025 edition. The conclusion is that pricing and margin policy, productivity, and sales and marketing are the main causes of profit leakage.
Profit leakage is profit from existing business activity that the company loses without noticing, expressed in euros.
In other words: a company can earn additional profit from its existing business activity if it removes the causes of profit leakage.
In the survey, each business owner was presented with 63 statements about their operations. The analysis shows that a number of sub-areas have a considerable influence on whether profit leakage occurs. The main causes are pricing and margin policy, productivity, and sales and marketing.
