Log InBalance sheet fundamentals
The balance sheet is a snapshot of the company's assets at a given point in time. It consists of assets (what the company owns: fixed assets, inventory, receivables, cash) and liabilities (how it is financed: equity, financial debt, trade payables). The balance of assets = liabilities is a fundamental principle.
Key ratios
To assess financial health, focus on key ratios: net profitability (net income / revenue), solvency (equity / total assets), current ratio (current assets / short-term liabilities) and debt ratio (financial debt / equity). Our platform automatically calculates these ratios over a 10-year history.
Warning signs
Certain indicators should draw your attention: negative equity (a sign of structural difficulties), a sharply rising working capital requirement (cash flow pressure), continuously declining profitability, or increasing debt. Our financial scoring (SME Score) synthesizes these signals into a single index.
