Credit Analysis / Manage Counterparty Risk Do you really know the credit rating of your customers or your vendors - or do you know your own reliability to go into negotiation with banks?
A possibility to avoid loosing money due to a short-fall of your customer is factoring. But your factoring partner will pay you for your receivables  only what the real value is (minus a margin), whatever the value is. He will and has to calculate the short-fall risk very carefully, especially for  larger amounts which could threaten his own business.  But if you have no possibility to assign a larger part of your receivables to a factoring company because the costs of the factoring are too much,  you can alternatively also figure out for yourselve what the credibility of your customer is. And, important, to manage therewith the final invoice  amount per customer. Every risk has his price between 0% and 100%. For many companies the information received from credit-rating companies  is sufficient enough, but there are two important disadvanteges:  1. Every costumer is unique in his relationship with you. He has a personal history and this history is not covered by an overall plain vanilla  credit analysis..     2. Overall credit analysis is often reduced to a limited number of information. Such like share-capital, number of employees and if the company  has problems to pay it's liabilities (see chapter company information below). This is certainly not enough for a safe judgement!  Hence, you find in the following a process how we can offer you. Our analysis is based on our experience in Banks and larger groups  Qualitative Items Information about the Company  History, background, field of activity, number of employees, ownership and legal responsibility.  Management and Behaviour Aibility and reliability of the management are unavoidable conditions for granting a credit, i.e. giving away a value without receiving the same value  in another form.
