The Premier League
Ranked by Company Credit Score and Net Worth
With the 2016/17 Premier League football season kicking off soon, we thought we’d use our Company Credit Reports (and specifically Company Credit Scores and Net Worth) to take a look at the finances of England’s top tier clubs. Are your team Champions League contenders or relegation strugglers?

Leicester City top the table again!
As if winning the league last season (2015/16) wasn’t enough, it appears that Leicester City are the best when it comes to the Company Credit Score as well.
So what is a Company Credit Score?
Our Company Credit Score is a tool that helps you predict the likelihood of a company failing within the next 12 months, and therefore its creditworthiness. The score is created using a complex algorithm that focuses on a variety of information, including financial history, current assets, liabilities and more. Companies are given a rating between 0 and 100 - the higher the rating, the better the score.
When not being used to compare football clubs, a Company Credit Score indicates who you should and shouldn’t do business with.
