What can I do with my Plimsoll Analysis?
The Plimsoll  Analysis is a detailed graphical study of the major companies in your industry. It is a detailled industry report examining your market and the companies operating within it. Read More about what a Plimsoll Analysis can do for your business.

How up to date is my Plimsoll  Analysis?
All our Analyses are printed to order, so you can be assured your analysis is the most up to date available. We receive updates from companies from Companies House every 2 weeks so our reports are constantly being updated.

When will I receive my Analysis?
Our reports are delivered by courier for maximum discretion. Please allow 72 hours for delivery. If you have chosen  PDF format, your PDF copy of the Analysis will be delivered to your inbox the same day (for orders received before 4pm).

Which companies are included in my Analysis?
Companies operating in your chosen industry who are required to file accounts at Companies House will be included in your Analysis. If you believe a company has been omitted from the Analysis, we will analyse it for you for free providing their accounts are available. Use the search function above to find your chosen industry page and see which companies are included in the Analysis.

What information will I receive on each company?
Each company in your Plimsoll Analysis is analysed over a full page of in-depth financial analysis. View an example of the information you will receive on each company.

I can't find my industry.
We may have an Analysis which matches your sector of activity, under a different name. Try using the Search help options above. Alternatively call 01642 626422 to discuss your requirements.

I bought an Analysis from you a few years ago. Why should I renew the Analysis?
Your old edition of the Analysis won't have any of the brand new features we incorporated into the Plimsoll Portfolio Analysis this year. Each company page now shows the industry average, and also has exclusive written commentary on each company's financial performance. What's more, your old edition of the Analysis won't have the most up to date accounts for each company in the industry. Just think how the dynamics of the industry may have changed within the last few years.

What does the Analysis cost?
The Plimsoll Portfolio Analysis is priced at £350 for a hard copy of the report, or £350+VAT for a PDF version. A CD software version of the report is available priced £499+VAT which allows you to export the data into a spreadsheet for maximum flexibility.

How do I pay?
If your Analysis is being delivered to a UK address you can choose to pay by invoice. For orders outside the UK we request payment by credit card online. Please be assured that www.plimsoll.co.uk is a secure site.

Are the Plimsoll Reports available for any other countries?
Yes. We currently have Analyses available for France and Japan. Please use the navigation at the top of your browser to visit the websites for these countries, or alternatively contact us.

What if I've received my Analysis and I have a question?
We have a dedicated after sales team who will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact us within 14 days of receiving your Analysis to discuss your query.
