Negative ProfitabilitySustained negative net margin and ROE indicate the business is not yet reliably converting revenue into shareholder returns. Over months this limits retained earnings for reinvestment, undermines ability to scale profitably and can pressure funding needs if margins do not improve with growth.
Weak Free Cash FlowA steep drop in free cash flow points to constrained internal funding for capex, working capital and growth initiatives. Persistent negative FCF forces reliance on external capital, increases dilution or leverage risk, and reduces the firm's buffer against cyclical merchant spend declines.
Small Scale / Limited ResourcesA small workforce implies limited capacity for large enterprise deployments, rapid geographic expansion, or significant product R&D. Over the medium term this can slow commercial scaling, concentrate key-person risk, and make competing against larger integrated POS providers more difficult.
