- “Hmmm. I see some monetary questions. I don’t like this.”
We’re conscious that many firms may be skeptical about answering these questions, so our easiest response which you’ll copy-paste is that this:
It’s utterly comprehensible to be skeptical or fearful about offering this info. To start with, these questions are non-compulsory, so chances are you’ll skip them in the event that they’d like. Nevertheless, this info helps categorize and type the business. An organization of 1-10 individuals in Switzerland can have a a lot totally different degree of income in USD than an organization of the identical dimension in China given the totally different currencies and totally different prices require to interrupt even (and we don’t ask about operational or another prices).
That’s the reason the questions are introduced in US$ ranges moderately than asking for a selected quantity. Drone Business Insights doesn’t care to try to work out which firm stated what or how a lot cash they individually declare to make (nor have they got the time and vitality to take action). Since these questions are additionally self-reported, they might not be dependable for a correct monetary evaluation. Once more, due to this fact the aim is to easily get an concept of the exercise occurring within the international business, so we might sincerely respect should you reply these questions [truthfully].
