- Lend or arrange credit No FSCS coverConsumer credit is not covered by the FSCS, so there is no compensation scheme if the firm fails.

- Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
- Profit before tax
- What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
