Of companies which fall behind with their social security contributions, one in seven fails (*)
The company reports overdue debts to the NSSO (National Social Security Office) at the end of the financial year in its recently filed annual accounts (item 9076).

A business is liquid if it can meet its short-term payment obligations; if not, it is illiquid.
A liquidity of > 1 is considered very good
(= in theory, this business can pay its short-term liabilities if it realises its current assets).
The way this ratio has changed in recent years is highly significant.
If liquidity falls steadily, this means things are getting increasingly worse, and will end up being unsustainable.
How liquid and profitable a business is gives a good idea of how well it is doing.
| Liquidity | Profitability |

| - | Temporarily sick | Dying |
