SPFL Championship: staying licensed on a tight budget

Indicative benchmarks — estimates, not official league limits

Championship-level Scottish clubs run on tight, community-scale budgets under SFA licensing: annual accounts, going-concern status and obligations kept current. No numeric domestic cap is published, so Zelador scores these clubs against indicative benchmarks calibrated for smaller revenue bases — labeled as such — while tracking the obligations that licensing actually checks.
