See How Your Next Big Move Affects Your Rating, Before You Make It.
Expansion, M&A, an IPO, a debt-funded capex: every major decision moves your financial metrics, and your credit profile with them. For debt-reliant businesses, even a small downgrade can sharply raise the cost of capital.
Scenario analysis lets you test those decisions in advance. We model how each path affects your cash flows, credit metrics, and likely rating trajectory, so you act with foresight instead of hindsight.
Who Should Consider Scenario Analysis?
Scenario analysis is crucial for companies that are:
- Highly Leveraged, where interest costs form a large share of operating profits
- Planning Major Events, like M&A, IPOs, restructurings, or capital raises
- Facing Volatile Market Conditions, with exposure to commodity cycles, regulatory changes, or demand shocks
- Operating in Rating-Sensitive Industries, where ratings drive customer or lender perception (e.g. NBFCs, EPC firms, developers)
- Considering Strategic Pivots, such as expansion into new geographies, verticals, or funding models
If a single rating downgrade could derail your strategy or significantly inflate your cost of capital, you need scenario analysis.
Our Scenario Analysis Framework
A flexible model that lets you walk through each stage of the analysis at your own pace.
Define the Objective
We identify the strategic event and understand its expected impact on operations, financials, and the company's likely rating trajectory.
Data Collection & Factor Mapping
We gather internal and market data, then identify the key variables, like revenue volatility, cost structures, leverage, coverage ratios, and working capital needs.
Model Creation & Assumption Building
We develop a flexible financial model that simulates different outcomes under varying assumptions, giving you a clear view of how each scenario plays out.
Scenario Development
We construct Base Case, Best Case, and Worst Case scenarios based on your internal plans and relevant external uncertainties.
Impact Evaluation
We analyse how each scenario affects cash flows, credit metrics, and potential rating outcomes, including risks of downgrade and chances for improvement.
Strategic Guidance
We translate the analysis into actionable recommendations, helping you adjust your funding, operational, and investment plans before decisions are made, not after.
How We Frame Each Scenario
