What is a FRICS score?
FRICS (Funding Readiness & Credit Intelligence System) is a weighted 0–100 score built from seven pillars: financial health, governance, operations, market capacity, funding behaviour, impact and data transparency. It tells you how a funder is likely to read your business before you apply.
How long does the assessment take?
Around 10 minutes. It is roughly 35 questions and you do not need audited accounts or legal documents to start, the report tells you exactly which documents to prepare next.
Is the assessment free?
Yes. The FRICS assessment, your score, readiness band, action plan and FRICS ID are free. Paid readiness programmes through GLI CONSULTS are optional and quoted separately.
Who can see my business information?
Only you, unless you grant access. Funders see anonymised pipeline data by default; your full file is shared only after you switch on consent for that funder, and you can withdraw it at any time.
What happens after I get my score?
Below 80 you are routed to a targeted readiness programme with GLI CONSULTS. At 80 and above, GLI CAPITAL begins active financier matching. Your score updates as you improve and upload evidence.
