HOW IT’S CALCULATED
How your score is calculated
Your VALO Score is a business strength score: a single number from 100–500, built the same way a credit score is, from defined, weighted factors backed by real data.
THE STRUCTURE
Four pillars, equally weighted
Your score is built from four pillars, Viability, Acquisition, Leadership, and Operations, each worth 25%. Within each pillar, specific, verifiable factors add points as your business gets stronger. A strong business stands on all four, so the score rewards balance, not just one strength.
THE FACTORS
Points come from real capabilities
TWO NUMBERS
Your Score, and your Verified %
Every business shows two numbers: the Score (how strong the business is) and the Verified % (how much of that score is backed by real evidence). Two businesses can claim the same things and get the same score, but the one that has proven it has a higher Verified %, and that’s what a lender or buyer trusts.
