Financial Viability Assessments

Assess financial health with confidence

Our Financial Viability Assessment (FVA) provides a comprehensive review of an entity’s financial health to support confident decision-making during the pre-award and execution phases of contracts.

Designed for government departments and private enterprises, the FVA combines three years of financial statements with credit data and expert analysis to assess whether a supplier or contractor has the financial capacity to deliver on contractual obligations. Each assessment is prepared and reviewed by qualified chartered accountants, ensuring accuracy, objectivity and actionable insights.
