## What it means for a shop owner

A higher number means cash is not sleeping on the shelves and a lower one means slow goods. Compare your own items with each other, not with another shop, since food turns faster than furniture. Review it monthly.

## A worked example

Cost of goods sold in a year is 120000 and average stock is 20000, so turnover is 6 times a year, about every two months.
