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

Financial strength, FY 2023 · tick = 2022
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.
