The GFA Score Index

The GFA Score Index: a daily, independently-calculated financial-health score for individual businesses across the UK lower mid-market, compiled from anonymised financial performance data aggregated from 30+ verified sources and joined to participating lenders' uploaded loan books. Delivered as borrower-level daily scores plus live peer cohorts segmented by sector and revenue band, so each borrower is positioned continuously against its market rather than a lagged comparison. Positioned as a market-wide reference index for private-credit and lower-mid-market lenders, with credit-metered access to intelligence on businesses outside a subscriber's own portfolio, under FCA, GDPR and AIFMD2-aligned handling.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular borrower-by-day score panel (entity, score, sector, revenue cohort, date) with API access for integration into existing risk and workflow systems; loan-book upload matching inbound and credit-metered intelligence queries outbound
Volume: High-frequency and broad: daily scoring across a large UK private-company population plausibly yields millions of entity-day observations per year even at modest coverage. Beneath the score sit financial-performance records from 30+ verified sources plus uploaded loan books matched against them. The published artefact is a score rather than raw financials, so the observable surface is compact while the input layer is substantial.
Users: N/A - the panel population is UK lower-mid-market businesses, not registered users. Subscribers are private-credit funds and direct lenders who upload loan books; subscriber count is undisclosed and bounded to a modest institutional set given a ~5-person firm. The covered borrower universe spans the UK lower mid-market, a structurally large population of private companies.
History: 5 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active - a continuously-updated terminal with credit-metered intelligence purchases and loan-book upload, positioned explicitly against current regulatory pressure around AIFMD2 and LP scrutiny, indicating an actively-sold product responding to live demand. The very small team limits how fast breadth grows.
Launched: ~2021 - platform content assets are dated mid-2021 and the organisation record was created in early 2020, so the terminal launched around the pandemic period and has been developed since. Two independent signals agreeing closely.
