Providing Financial Information in a Template

If your company is unable to provide prepared financial statements, RapidRatings offers regional and language-specific Excel templates for U.S., Chinese, Brazilian, German, French, Italian, and Spanish companies. A generic template is also available for companies outside these regions. Templates can be requested through your RapidRatings contact.


Submitting Parent Company Information

Unless otherwise specified, financial data should be submitted for the exact entity named in the client’s introductory letter. In some cases, RapidRatings may accept financials from a parent company, but only if:

  1. It is the direct parent, and

  2. It fully owns (100%) the requested entity.

If submitting financials for a different entity, please include a brief explanation of the relationship between the two.


Substituting Other Documents

The Financial Health Rating is based solely on financial statement data. RapidRatings does not accept other types of documents (e.g., management reports, credit assessments, Letters of Solvency, Letters from Bank/Investor) as substitutes. This ensures a standardized, objective approach to evaluating financial risk across all counterparties.
