Get the credit rating your fundamentals deserve.

Most strong businesses get rated on a weak story. We fix the story, so your real fundamentals are what the rating agency actually sees.

Free, confidential, no commitment.

Our Approach

Strong fundamentals don’t speak for themselves.

A rating rarely falls short because a business is weak. It falls short when the story is unclear. We close that gap, translating complex financials into a credible, well-evidenced case a rating agency can evaluate on its merits.

  1. 01

    Understand the business

    We look past the ratios to how your business actually earns, invests, and rides its cycle, the context a balance sheet alone never shows.

  2. 02

    Reframe the narrative

    We rebuild your credit story in the metrics and language rating agencies genuinely weigh, so your real strengths are visible, not buried.

  3. 03

    Prepare & represent

    We coach your team and help you manage the processes end to end, so nothing about your case is lost in translation.

Why Neofincred

A rating agency assesses thousands of issuers. We work for one: you.

The gap between a strong business and a strong rating is rarely the numbers. It is the story, how clearly your fundamentals reach the analyst deciding your rating.

Rating agencies apply rigorous methodologies within tight timelines. Our role is to help you present your fundamentals with the clarity and completeness analysts need, so your rating reflects your real strengths.

More about us
  • Led by someone who has sat on the other side of the table

    Ritessh Kumar Jain began his career as a ratings analyst inside a leading agency. He prepares your case knowing what the analyst deciding your rating is actually looking for.

  • Know your likely rating before the agency does

    Our shadow rating exercise surfaces the outcome you are heading toward, and the gaps behind it, while there is still time to act, not after.

  • One advisor, across every cycle

    From your first rating through every surveillance review, the same team manages your case. No re-explaining your business from scratch each year.

  • Real outcomes, from our case files

    BBB- target, A- delivered. 'D' to BBB+ over six years. These are recorded results from past engagements, see them in the case studies below, not the pitch.

  • Independent, with no conflicts

    We are not a rating agency. We do not rate issuers, and we do not solicit business from them. The only interest we represent is yours.

Case Study 01 Investment Grade Retained

Case Study 02 BBB- Target → BBB Achieved

First-Time Rating, Achieved Better-Than-Expected Investment-Grade Outcome

Case Study 03 BBB- Target → BBB (Stable)

From Negative Outlook to Investment-Grade Stability

Stable operations, but a Negative outlook was unsettling lenders. The issue was perception, not performance. We rebuilt the narrative around group strength and forward visibility, and the company secured a BBB (Stable), above its BBB- expectation.

Case Study 04 BBB- Target → BBB Achieved

First-Time Infrastructure Rating, Delivered Better-Than-Expected Outcome

A first-time road SPV carried a perception drag from a lower-rated sponsor. We separated the project's standalone strength with a scenario-tested cash-flow model, and it secured a BBB against a BBB- target. The parent entity later upgraded too.

Case Study 05 D → BBB+

From 'D' Rating to BBB+, A Long-Term Credit Turnaround

Case Study 06 BBB- Expected → A- Achieved

First-Time Rating, Achieved A- Against BBB- Expectation

A first-time logistics issuer expected a BBB- at best, given its scale and fragmented promoter profile. We structured the cash-flow model, arranged the site visit, and closed every analytical concern, and it secured an A-, three notches above expectation.
