Know Who You're Trusting, Before You Extend the Credit.
Your exposure does not end at your own balance sheet. A single customer default or supplier failure can freeze your cash flow, inventory, or deliveries.
We assess the financial strength of your customers, vendors, and partners using public information, peer benchmarking, and industry research, with no need for their cooperation, so you decide who to trust, and on what terms.
What We Offer
Our Third-Party Credit Risk Assessment is ideal when:
- You want to evaluate customers before offering credit terms
- You need to assess vendors before placing large purchase orders
- You are considering channel partners, franchisees, or associates
- You lack access to internal data but want a reasoned view on credit risk
Our Assessment Framework
- 01
Information Collation from Public Sources
We gather financials, director profiles, legal filings, credit ratings (if any), and other relevant data from public registries, including MCA, rating-agency databases, ROC filings, and audit reports.
- 02
Financial Ratio Analysis
We analyse liquidity, leverage, profitability, and coverage ratios to assess the counterparty's repayment capacity and overall financial resilience.
- 03
Peer Benchmarking
We compare the counterparty's performance with similar businesses in the industry, contextualising risks and showing their relative financial positioning.
- 04
Industry Risk Mapping
We evaluate the industry's outlook, cyclicality, and stress indicators to understand the potential systemic impact on the third party's financial health.
- 05
Credit Risk Flagging
We identify early warning signs of financial stress, declining revenues, high debt, losses, rating downgrades, or adverse auditor remarks, and flag them clearly.
- 06
Risk Opinion and Summary
We provide a concise risk opinion with a traffic-light style classification, Low / Moderate / High Risk, along with actionable recommendations.
How We Classify Risk
Every assessment closes with a clear, traffic-light classification and recommended terms. The signals below are illustrative of how we read each band.
| Low Risk | Moderate Risk | High Risk | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leverage & coverage | Comfortable, well-covered | Elevated but serviced | High debt, weak coverage |
| Profitability | Stable and profitable | Thinning margins | Losses or sharp decline |
| Liquidity | Healthy buffers | Tightening | Strained, stretched payables |
| External signals | Clean filings, no flags | Some delays or remarks | Downgrades or adverse auditor remarks |
| Suggested approach | Standard credit terms | Cap exposure and monitor | Advance or secured terms only |
