What's in the Business Health Check?

It asks a few straightforward questions about your business, including:

Your financial position, income, cash flow, and trading performance
The business stability, plans for growth and areas you're struggling with
Debt levels and any pressure from lenders or HMRC
Your wellbeing as a director and how you’re coping day to day

Each section is scored based on your answers to give you a personalised report. You’ll see any potential risks, areas to keep an eye on, and what to consider next.

At the end, you’ll get:

A personalised traffic light risk score
A summary of your key weaknesses and priorities
Guidance on what to do next, based on what you’ve told us

It’s completely free, 100% confidential, and gives you a clear and transparent understanding of where your business is at.

How you're scored:

We’ll score your answers across four key areas to give you a clear picture of where your business stands.

Core Financial Snapshot:

We look at your turnover, assets, and trading position to understand how your business is performing and whether it's generating enough to stay afloat.

Your Current Debt Position:

We ask about secured and unsecured debts, including loans and HMRC arrears, to assess the level of pressure your business is under and where it stands.

Your Company Position:

We explore how you're operating day to day, like paying yourself or using a director’s loan, to see how sustainable things really are.

Wellbeing and Resilience:

We ask how you’re coping personally, because your wellbeing and mental health affects decision-making and it’s just as important as the numbers.

It’s free and only takes 3 minutes
