A strong credit rating is one of the most powerful tools a borrower can hold. It determines your access to international markets, the cost at which you borrow, and the confidence you inspire in institutional investors worldwide. Finasia Capital guides you through every stage of the rating process — from preparation to ongoing relationship management with the world's leading rating agencies.
Our team has direct, hands-on experience working with Moody's, S&P Global Ratings, and Fitch Ratings on behalf of sovereign and corporate issuers across the CEEMEA region. We know what rating committees look for, how to present your credit story compellingly, and how to manage the process efficiently.
What we do for you
Our services are tailored to your specific financing objectives, ensuring that every engagement delivers measurable value.
- Rating strategy and agency selection — We advise on which rating agency — or combination of agencies — best suits your financing objectives, market positioning, and investor audience.
- Pre-rating diagnostic and gap analysis — Before the rating process begins, we conduct a rigorous internal review of your financials, governance framework, and operational profile to identify areas that may weigh on your rating and address them proactively.
- Financial profile development — We work with you to develop a robust financial profile and credit narrative that accurately and persuasively represents your strengths to rating analysts.
- Rating agency preparation and management — We manage the full rating process end-to-end, preparing your management team for analyst meetings, coordinating information submissions, and advising on presentation strategy.
- ESG and SDG integration — Increasingly, rating agencies and investors assess environmental, social, and governance factors. We help you embed ESG credentials into your credit story in a way that resonates with global capital markets participants.
- Rating maintenance and monitoring — Achieving a rating is only the beginning. We provide ongoing advisory support to help you maintain and improve your rating over time, including preparation of post-issuance reports and ongoing investor communications.
A well-managed rating process can meaningfully reduce your borrowing costs, widen your investor base, and position your organisation as a credible participant in international debt markets.
