Within the scope of corporate financing, there is a need for each company to document its own balance sheet credit rating. Especially lenders need information about a company’s ability to meet its future payment obligations on time and in full. In this context, a financial rating represents an optimal instrument for the early recognition of impending financial risks for every entrepreneur and is the basis for preparing for negotiations with lenders. This book explains the hard facts and quantitative criteria that are important in the rating and is very practice-oriented. An important focus is the detailed presentation of the annual financial statements analysis and the balance sheet analysis in the rating.
