If Your Client Sent You an FHR Request and You're Publicly Traded

RapidRatings' outreach service exists to collect financial data from privately held companies since public company financials are already available through regulatory filings. If you received a request but your company is publicly traded, let us know — we'll classify your company appropriately. You should not upload financial data to the FHR Exchange as a public company. RapidRatings already produces Financial Health Ratings for public companies from publicly available data.

If You're a Private Subsidiary of a Public Parent

If your parent company is publicly traded but your business operates as a private subsidiary, the request applies to you. Your client is asking for a rating of your operating entity, not the consolidated group. Submit your standalone (entity-level) financials through the FHR Exchange — unaudited and internal statements are accepted.

For more on why entity-level data is what your client needs, see Why Your Client Needs Entity-Level Financials, Not Your Parent's Consolidated Statements.

If You're a Public Company Interested in Joining the FHR Exchange

While the outreach service is designed for private companies, publicly traded companies can still join the FHR Exchange to derive value from the platform — including access to Financial Health Ratings on their own private suppliers and partners and the ability to manage financial risk across their third-party network.
