The Plimsoll Rating enables you to identify 9 out of 10 failing companies 2 years in advance


Choose the relevant Plimsoll Analysis for your Global industry and you will get an instant opinion on the financial health and prospects of the largest, most important companies. Each major company will have been rated as Strong, Good, Mediocre, Caution or Danger. These ratings will let you quickly see who is flourishing, who is heading for failure, what the strong are doing differently and much more.

No company escapes the Plimsoll Rating - 9 out of 10 companies currently in administration were rated "Danger" by Plimsoll up to 2 years prior to their demise.

The Plimsoll Chart is a very accurate way to measure overall financial strength and performance change year on year. I use it to identify distressed and poorly run companies. quote

Company Values

Every company analysed in the Plimsoll Global Analysis is valued allowing you to see how much your company is worth compared to the rest of the competition.

Company values revealed

Every company in each Plimsoll Analysis is also valued. Plimsoll has been valuing companies for almost three decades and our easy to read valuations will let you:

  • See how much your own company is worth based on the latest data
  • Compare the value of every company to the rest of its market rivals
  • Separate companies increasing in value from those in decline
  • Determine a possible price for acquisition

I find the Plimsoll Valuation an extremely useful tool in support of my annual presentation to the external shareholders at the company Annual General Meeting. The report is always produced very quickly and provides all of the information the shareholders are interested to find out. quote

  • High Value Targets - premium companies with high sales & profit
  • Market Share Targets - Fast growing takeover targets
  • Independent Targets - Smaller, private owned targets with sales under $200m
  • Loss Making Targets - loss making companies that could be bought & turned around
  • High Profit / Low Growth Targets - profitable targets that are struggling to grow

While subscribing to Plimsoll, we used the Plimsoll Analysis to benchmark our position within the market and used the Analysis for customer acquisition. Through the simple nature of TALAT, we managed to gain insight into a highly competitive market which has enabled us to secure new business. quote
