Private companies participate in the FHR Exchange in large numbers. This article explains why, what you get out of it, and what to do if company policy is a blocker

As a private company, do I need to share my financials?

The standard terms every member accepts already cover what an NDA would

Can you sign our NDA?

Every company must be rated on its own financial statements; sponsor backing is neither a positive nor negative factor and does not substitute for demonstrating financial health

We're private equity-backed. Is this necessary?

The FHR is built from your financial statements. D&B reports, Altman Z-scores, and other third-party credit assessments are outputs of other rating processes, not the underlying data the FHR needs

Can I submit a D&B report or Z-score instead of my financial statements?

Start-ups are rated on the same quantitative basis as every other company; funding stage and investor backing are not inputs, and a company must be at least nine months old…

How do you evaluate start-ups?

Direct submission is what unlocks the value of the FHR Exchange for the member — access to the rating, control over disclosure, and reuse across the client base

I'm a private company but my financials are publicly available. Can you get them yourselves?

Direct, 100%-owning parent financials are accepted as a fallback, but entity-level data is strongly preferred; parent/group ratings, Letters of Guarantee, and consolidated financials are not accepted as inputs

Can my parent company's rating, guarantee, or financials be used instead of mine?

Basic members can view their FHR Report. Essential members can download their FHR Report, Financial Dialogues, and Peer Benchmark reports

Can I download my report?

Financial data can only be submitted through the FHR Exchange portal, not by email or direct handoff to a client. This article explains why and answers the most common objections

Why do I need a RapidRatings account to submit my financials?

A Financial Health Rating measures the operating entity's own financial position, not the aggregate of every company in a corporate group

Why does my client need my financials and not my parent's?

RapidRatings' outreach service is designed to produce Financial Health Ratings for privately held companies. If you're publicly traded, your path through the platform looks different — here's what to know

I'm a public company - how does the FHR Exchange work for me?

Refreshes keep your rating current so it continues to reflect your business's actual financial position — and they're a routine part of most client risk-management programs

Why am I being asked to update my rating?

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.
