Where this score can mislead
“A points score cannot see the things that most often sink real applications: disputed invoices, contractual or stage-payment debt, CIS deductions, and ban-on-assignment clauses in your customer contracts. A business can score High here and still be declined on ledger quality, or score Difficult and get funded by a specialist who likes the debtor book. Treat this as a guide to which providers to approach, not an underwriting decision.”
