Report your business metrics

Why it’s important

You’ll probably remember, at the start of the Grow Your Business programme, we asked you to track your monthly business metrics, like revenue, costs and profit, and to provide us with these metrics on a regular basis. We do this to help you get in the habit of regularly assessing your business progress. Gathering performance information also allows AMI – and our funders – to understand whether programmes like Grow Your Business are actually having an impact, and to make our programmes even better for you and other entrepreneurs like you.

5 Easy Steps

We’ve made submitting your business performance data in 5 very simple steps that will take you no more than 10 minutes.

Here are the 5 areas:

Entrepreneur & Business Info
Business Details
2019 Employee Count
2019 Business Performance
Business Financing

What will we do with your data?

We’ll analyse the data provided by each business. This will help us to track your progress and the impact of our programmes.
We’ll anonymise the data (i.e remove any identifiable information such as your business name, your name and your contact details) and share this anonymised business performance data with one of our funders, the Argidius Foundation. Their funding depends on us providing this data. Without their support, we’d be unable to offer discounted programmes to you and other African SMEs.

Your Business Data Privacy

Please note that when we share the data with our funders, there is no record of your company name, your data or any personal/contact information. This means no one outside AMI will be able to trace this data back to you and your business. Your data will not be shared with any other third parties.

Our Privacy Policy explains how AMI uses and handles the data that you share with us – you can review this here. Please know that AMI follows rigorous processes to protect and store your data securely. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via email.
