8.6 Business Ratios

The following table indicates important Business Ratios for both ScholarshipAssist as well as the industry as a whole. Please note that any material variances between ScholarshipAssist's ratios and the industry rations can be explained by the fact that the services offered by ScholarshipAssist are quite new and are not duplicated by others therefore it is reasonable to expect that the ratios are not always consistent with the industry as a whole.
