A credit rating shapes the price and availability of your funding. We help you understand how rating agencies assess you, close the gaps before the review, and present your credit story clearly.
Rating agencies look at business risk, financial strength, governance and the quality of your information. Entities that prepare for that review perform better than those that meet it cold.
Our team has worked on rating analysis and bond issuance directly, so we know what analysts ask for and where applications typically fall short.
Review the entity against the factors rating agencies weigh.
Identify weaknesses in financial profile, governance and reporting.
Set out practical steps, sequenced and owned, to strengthen the credit profile.
Prepare data, management presentation and Q&A for the rating review.
Present strengths and risks clearly, with evidence behind each claim.
Prepare for annual reviews and keep the rating on track.
Assess the entity against the rating criteria that apply to it.
Agree and carry out the changes that will matter most to the rating outcome.
Prepare management and materials, then support the review meetings.
Support surveillance reviews and communication after the rating is assigned.
TDO Capital advises on rating preparation. Ratings are assigned independently by rating agencies, and we cannot guarantee a rating outcome.
