Kingpin Services


Kingpin Affirm™ is an entirely free to use instant company health check.

Kingpin Affirm poses twenty questions that require you to simply tick the relevant boxes for your current position. We are not asking you for any identifying details or any numbers and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to complete.

The algorithm behind this tool largely replicates the kind of checklist an Insolvency Practitioner might apply during an initial assessment, giving a broad picture score as to the current situation. If you are a company director or owner, you should be able to answer all these questions, and if you can't then that in itself suggests you would benefit from some professional guidance.

Kingpin Affirm is both secure and discreet; we do not store or retain your information once your session ends.

There is no need for you to sign up for anything before you use this free tool, though we do ask that if the health check suggests you might need some assistance, you consider contacting Kingpin Advisory for guidance on that help. If you already have professional advice at hand then that's fine; we just want to make sure company officers get the help they need when it can do the most good, which is always as early as possible.
