Altman Z- Score is calculated to identify the Companies financial position for Obtaining financial assistance from banks.

If any company having Altman Score-Z more than 3 then the financial condition of such company is strong and bank should provide the loan to such companies.

If any company having Altman Score-Z less than 1.8 than it is assumed that the financial position is not strong for such companies and bank should not provide any loan assistance to such companies.

If the score is between 1.8 and 3 then the bank is indifferent on such cases and in such cases bank should properly analyse the market position , market strategy, market share of such companies before providing any loan assistance.
