RapidRatings is an unbiased, independent firm that rates the financial health of private and public companies using actual financial data. Organizations use our financial health intelligence and predictive analytics to gain detailed insights into their critical suppliers, business partners, and other third parties, so they can make more informed risk management decisions. RapidRatings’ insights into the financial health of private companies are critical because more than 70% of companies in supply chains around the world are private. If you don’t have the ability to accurately gauge private suppliers’ financial health, you will never be able to build a truly resilient supply chain.
A company’s financial health rating is an accurate and predictive indicator of its future performances as a business partner, credit obligor, or supplier. The FHR projects reliable forecasts of the 12-month and long-term outlooks of the companies that touch your business and predicts probabilities of default with proven, high accuracy. We have eliminated the uncertainty that comes with qualitative, market-data-driven payment history, and other subjective ratings.The FHR is a common language that procurement, sourcing, finance, and credit teams can all use to make more informed decisions. It is not only the cornerstone of RapidRatings, but also an industry standard for determining a company’s viability.
At RapidRatings, we use a proven proprietary algorithm that spots bankruptcy risks and other financial threats years in advance to create accurate financial health ratings. Our models use actual financial data, which is quantitative data found solely in financial statements and sourced directly from the private company. Using financial statements, our models analyze a particular company’s risk and generate an FHR, a rating from 0 to 100 that indicates the company’s overall financial health.
