How is this score calculated?

Workforce size relative to sector peers from the most recent accounts. A larger team generally signals commercial scale.
Current assets ÷ current liabilities. A ratio above 2× earns full marks; between 1–2× scores partially; below 0.5× scores minimal points.
One point per year of operation since incorporation, capped at 15. Older companies have a proven track record.
Full 15 points when both annual accounts and confirmation statement are filed on time. Points are deducted for each overdue filing.
Risk deductions
Outstanding charges: -10 pts
Maximum score is 100. Deductions apply for insolvency history, outstanding charges, going concern doubt, or disqualified officers.
