Abstract: Abstract Current research aims at developing a comprehensive financial instrument towards valuation business failure risk for a sample of 69 companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange in 2013. There were considered several financial ratios such as liquidity ratios (e.g., current ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio), indebtedness ratios (e.g., general indebtedness ratio, financial stability ratio, global financial autonomy ratio, financial independence ratio, borrowing capacity ratio, long-term financial autonomy, leverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio), as well as solvency ratios (e.g., global solvency ratio and patrimonial solvency ratio). By taking into consideration the large number of selected ratios, we employed the principal component analysis as multidimensional analysis technique which ensures the non-redundant decomposition of the total variability out of the initial causal space through a lower number of components. Thereby, there were retained five principal components (being underlined liquidity, financial autonomy, financial independence, debt service coverage ratio, and solvency) which cumulate 90.5895 % of the initial information. Subsequently, based on the selected principal components we reported the aggregate business failure risk indicator.
