Business Strength Score FAQ
Is the Business Strength Score really free?
Yes. You can get your score and a set of findings for free, without an account. Creating a free account lets you save it, verify it with your real data, and start raising it.
What’s a good score?
It depends on your stage. A brand-new business often starts in the 100–200 “Start” range; a well-run, established business lands in “Grow” or higher. The goal isn’t a perfect 500 overnight, it’s steady, provable progress.
How is it calculated?
Your business is scored across four equally-weighted pillars, Money, Customers, Work, and Management. Within each, specific, verifiable factors add points. What can be proven from connected data counts fully; what you self-report counts provisionally until it’s verified.
Does connecting my bank or books lower my score?
No, connecting can only help. Connecting proves what you already have and turns self-reported points into verified ones. The score only reflects reality; it never penalizes you for showing your real numbers.
How is this different from a credit score?
A credit score measures a person’s history of repaying debt. The Business Strength Score measures the strength of the business itself, across all four pillars, and it’s built on proof you control.
Who can see my score?
You do, always. Your score is private unless you choose to share it, for example, a Verified Score you hand to a lender or a buyer as proof of a strong, well-run business.
