The TPN CIPC Score is a
score derived from a combination of four data points:
· Director/s
· Entity
Age
· Entity
Status
· Director
Maturity
These factors are shown
individually and then rolled into a single CIPC Score.
There are five CIPC Scores:
·
Excellent
·
Good
·
Average
·
Below
Average
·
Poor
What does “Directors” show?
·
Indicates the total number of active
directors currently associated with the company.
·
Logic is added into the director count
and “shelf” company directors are removed from the count. In some cases, we are
unable to remove the shelf directors as these are not clearly
shown.
What is “Entity Age”?
There
are three entity age buckets:
• Start
Up – the business has been in operation for less
than 2 years.
• Established –
the business has been in operation for between 2 and 15 years.
• Mature –
the business has been in operation for more than 15 years.
The entity age is not linked directly
to the company CIPC record creation date, but calculations are performed as to
when the company started operation (i.e.: company no longer a shelf company).
What is “Entity Status”?
Shows the current /past status of the entity.
·
Pass –
if the company is in business.
·
Fail -
if the company is no longer in business or flagged for deregistration.
·
Warning -
if the company is in business, but the status of the business has been
fluctuating between an active and inactive status.
What is “Director Maturity” ?
This flag indicates the total amount of experience
that the directors of the company have.
This
status is determined by looking at all previous and other active directorships
of each individual director.
There
is a scale of:
• Amateur
• Average
• Experienced
