Maintaining and improving credit ratings has become an extremely important issue in corporate funding strategy. Credit ratings are important to many of our clients as an external assessment of their creditworthiness which will have an impact in terms of perception versus comparable companies and potentially their cost of funding.
Should unrated clients seek to enter into a formal rating process, we are able to support them through the due diligence and credit positioning elements as well as overall project management. We assess the likely outcome of a credit ratings process to support funding options advice or debt capital raising/refinancing transactions.
