Debtor Risk Assessment

Company insolvency forecasts over the next twelve months

Debtor Risk Assessment
The Debtor Risk Assessment (DRA) is based on a statistical model which predicts the probability of company insolvency over the next 12 months.

 

The Debtor Risk Assessment from Coface is not comparable with the classic credit ratings issued by Rating Agencies. The Coface assessment takes into account not only the assessment and the company turnover, but also its business sector, the country in which the company operates and the know-how of a credit insurer.

 

 

As the Debtor Risk Assessment reflects only the probability of insolvency, it is possible that with a Credit Limit request and, despite a good assesment, other factors (for example, a ‚dormant company‘) determine a partial acceptance or refusal of the limit requested.

 

The disclosure of this confidential information (as is common for credit limits and/or other @rating assessments) is not allowed.

 

 

The Debtor Risk Assessment is divided into 10 classifications and into three risk categories:

Low Risk Investment Grade Companies

 

10 –Very high Credit Score

The risk of payment default is very small und company solvency is very good. The company exibits a very high ability to withstand unforseen events.

 

9 – High Credit Score
