These ratios are important because they provide an objective and structured way of understanding a company&#8217;s financial health and performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of financial ratios<\/h2>\n<p>There are many types of financial ratios that can be used, each with their own specific purpose. Some of the most common financial ratios are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Liquidity ratios:<\/strong> these ratios measure a company&#8217;s ability to meet its short-term liabilities, in other words the company&#8217;s <a href=\"\/news\/what-is-liquidity\/\">liquidity<\/a>. This includes ratios such as current ratio and quick ratio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Profitability ratios:<\/strong> these ratios measure how profitable a company is. Some examples are gross margin, net margin and return on investment (ROI).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solvency ratios:<\/strong> these ratios measure a company&#8217;s ability to meet its long-term liabilities, in other words its <a href=\"\/news\/improve-solvency\/\">solvency<\/a>. This includes ratios such as debt-to-equity ratio and interest coverage ratio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why are financial ratios important?<\/h2>\n<p>Financial ratios are significant because they allow investors, creditors, analysts and other stakeholders to compare and evaluate a company&#8217;s financial performance. By using ratios, they can better understand a company&#8217;s financial health and performance and make decisions based on objective and structured information. Thus, this can also influence getting a loan or other <a href=\"\/news\/alternative-forms-of-financing\/\">alternative forms of financing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is essential to note that financial ratios only tell part of the story and should be used in conjunction with other information, such as a company&#8217;s operational performance and strategic plans. Nevertheless, financial ratios provide an important tool to assess how a company is performing and whether it is likely to be successful in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;700px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2px||4px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/en\/news\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to the news page&#8221; module_class=&#8221;btn-back&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#001194&#8243; button_bg_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x23;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|hover&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||59px|false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#000A54&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20vh||20vh||true|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;2087&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;46px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;46px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_font_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_phone=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_line_height_tablet=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_3_font_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_3_font_phone=&#8221;&#8221; header_3_font_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_line_height_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_3_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_3_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Focus on telling your business story<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Trade your invoices for working capital by factoring<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.factris.com\/en\/eligibility\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;See if I qualify&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; module_class=&#8221;btn-tertiary-2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/onboarding.factris.com\/en\/sign-up&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Finance my invoices&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#353540&#8243; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||18px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|40px|10px|25px|true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|50px|||true|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Financial ratios are calculations used to measure and analyse various aspects of a company&#8217;s financial performance.
