Regarding the process of proving financial viability, is there any distinction made between financial turnover and profit? For example if you re-invest income  back in the business can it still be used towards the financial tests?

Hi Earthworm,

It is the profit figure that will ultimately be used in the financial test. If you choose to re-invest your profit (this will go in the accounts as 'capital introduced) it will not affect the profit figure. Turnover has little bearing unless you can show exceptional costs which would not re-occur in the future and thus your profit figure will be higher in the following years.
