The rating consists of 9 classes (from A1 to C3) and is only available for capital companies. The value is determined, for example, by economic variables, sector-specific factors, and the presence of negative marks.

The Commercial Credit Limit is calculated based on the legal form of the company:

  • For Capital Companies, it is based on the Rating and a series of other variables, such as sector, size, assets attributable to the company, tangible assets, historical data related to purchases, etc.
  • For Partnerships and Sole Proprietorships, the algorithm is based on the estimated size of the company, chamber and negative databases, and a series of variables such as sector, economic categorization, incorporation date, number of employees, any debts, company real estate, company productivity, business transactions, etc.

The risk severity is a risk index, ranging from 1 (low risk) to 990 (high risk), used to compare different companies.

Currently, two other services for Advanced Credit Scoring are available:

  • Credit Score Start to get only the simplified risk score (3 colors)
  • Credit Score Top to get also information on credit history, public rating, rating, and a more detailed profile of the company’s economic, income, asset, and financial status

The Advanced Credit Scoring service is ideal for any company that needs to assess the credit risk of its customers or partners, such as credit institutions, fintechs, e-commerce companies (especially those offering payment systems), or companies providing Telco, Leasing, or real estate services.
