Business turnaround, also known as company turnover is a process of dealing with a company's debts by determining how much it makes in terms of sales and assets. It is like a weighing scale of a company's revenue and total gross amount of sales received for each year the establishment is standing.
This also pertains to how fast an inventory is sold or how relevant the purchasing power of buyers are in a certain establishment. Typically, this comes in two different forms - low and high turnover.
As the name implies, low turnover is a result of a company's slow purchasing power. Goods are sold at a slower pace. High turnover on the other hand means the latter. It is a result of a corporation's effectiveness to carry out what is expected from them by consumers.
