Here's your current business position — what's changing, where cash is being tied up, and what to consider next.
Business Score
Business performance is moving in the right direction.
The Business Score is an illustrative Treviloq indicator based on the business information available within the platform.
The three areas most likely to influence the next business decision.
Trade debtors have risen to £86,400 and debtor days are currently 52 days as revenue grows.
Why it matters
More cash may remain tied up in day-to-day trading, reducing the funds available to support further growth.
Recommended next step
Review the largest customer balances, payment terms and collection activity.
Gross margin has improved by 2.1 percentage points, supporting faster profit growth.
Why it matters
Understanding what caused the improvement could help the business repeat it as revenue increases.
Recommended next step
Compare margin by service line and customer across the last two quarters.
Operating costs are rising and have moved slightly ahead of gross profit growth in recent months.
Why it matters
If that pattern continues, it could begin to weaken the recent improvement in net margin.
Recommended next step
Separate run-rate costs from growth investment and compare both with revenue monthly.
Revenue is 8.4% ahead of the previous period, with growth across most recent months.
Net profit is up 11.7%, growing faster than revenue and indicating better trading efficiency.
Cash has strengthened to £92,300, providing reasonable short-term flexibility.

Decision summary
Overall performance is improving, supported by stronger revenue, margins and profit. The main area requiring attention is working capital, where growing debtor balances are tying up more cash. Improving cash conversion while protecting current margin performance should strengthen the business position further.
