• Business @ratings:

International traders know that there can be good businesses in bad countries and bad businesses in good countries, and that the overall risk is based on both the specific characteristics of the business and those of the country where it operates. The Business @rating is therefore a natural complement to the Country @rating, providing the best way to assess the risk of an operation overall. Coface rates businesses through the following indicators:

-    Credit Opinion @rating: Indicates the recommended outstanding credit for 50 million businesses around the world.
-    Score @rating: Measures a business's probability of failure within one year, whether it is a large business or SME. The rating is now available for the 50 million businesses in the Coface database.
