Financials
From Ferax Limited's filed accounts at Companies House, period ending 2020-07-31. As-filed figures — a signal, not an audited verdict. Dashes are not tagged in the accounts.
CompetitionRead this one the other way round: a high number means a crowded market, where differentiation matters more than timing.
Answers: Is this a live, reachable business in a market worth being in?
A balanced read. Pick the lens that matches what you sell and every number on this page re-weights.
Accounts were due 30 Apr 2022 and are not on the register — about 4 years 5 months late.
What this means for you: Overdue filings are the first thing a new supplier will notice — raise it gently, it shows you did your homework.
What we checked · General opportunity weighting
Rows marked Not checked are excluded from the score rather than assumed — the missing weight shows up as lower confidence, not as a worse company.
