2. Credit ratings are vital for decision-making,
but few companies are rated due to cost
2
Understanding the credit-
worthiness of a company is
critical for both investment
and lending decision-
making. Credit rating agencies provide a rating
that delivers assurance to buyers and
lenders about a particular company.
However, this rating comes at a
substantial cost and therefore many
public companies do not hold ratings.
3. Most investors and banks rely on internal
analysis, but that itself is challenging
3
For lenders, investors and
other potential users, the
alternative is to develop an
internal credit department
assessing the worthiness of a
company.
However, this itself is a
challenge for 3 reasons
Time-consuming
Variable accuracy/
reliability
Resource-intensive
