<p>Your Financial Health Score is a composite metric that distils your company's financial data into a single number between 0 and 100. Instead of juggling dozens of ratios and figures, you get one clear indicator of overall financial wellbeing.</p>
<h2><strong>How is it calculated?</strong></h2>
<p>The score is built from four weighted pillars: <strong>Profitability</strong>, <strong>Liquidity</strong>, <strong>Efficiency</strong>, and <strong>Solvency</strong>. Each pillar analyses multiple KPIs — from gross margin and current ratio to asset turnover and debt-to-equity — and assigns a sub-score. These are then blended into your overall Health Score.</p>
<h2><strong>Why does it matter?</strong></h2>
<p>For business owners and finance professionals, the Health Score provides an instant reality check. It highlights whether your fundamentals are sound or whether there are areas that need urgent attention — before they become critical.</p>
<h2><strong>How to improve your score</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Increase profitability by managing costs and improving margins.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Strengthen liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Boost efficiency by optimising how you use your assets.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Improve solvency by keeping debt levels manageable and maintaining healthy interest cover.</p>
</li>
</ul>
