Bankruptcy probability
No current score
Checked score
A figure from 0 to 100: the higher it is, the smaller the chance that the company goes bankrupt within twelve months. The band, from Critical to Excellent, follows from that chance; within the band, how the company does against its sector peers counts too. With a low score, agree a shorter payment term, an advance or security.

The available figures for FY 2023 are too old to assess current financial health.

Financial strength
How strong the balance sheet and results are: solvency, liquidity and profitability from the latest annual accounts, each out of 100. It does not directly set the Checked score's band; how the company does on these and on growth against its sector peers does count for its place within the band.
