FAQS
Financial risk assessment is the process of evaluating a company’s likelihood of default, distress, or fraud. We use predictive models like H-Score®, TextScore®, and PoD® to help financial institutions make faster, more accurate decisions.
H-Score® uses five years of financial data to predict the likelihood of failure. So, it’s more forward-looking than traditional models and helps lenders and credit teams reduce exposure to high-risk companies.
TextScore® analyses the language in financial reports to flag early signs of corporate distress. This is necessary because even when the numbers look healthy, qualitative reports might tell a different story. To that end, TextScore® adds depth to your company research for financial services.
PoD® (Probability of Distress) gives you a clear, percentage-based view of a company’s risk profile. In this way, it supports provisioning, modelling, and overall credit monitoring.
You can integrate our platform via API, use Excel exports, or connect to BigQuery. This enables automated workflows across onboarding, credit approvals, and portfolio monitoring.
We cover the full UK business population – from small firms to large corporations – with clean, matched data ideal for company research in financial services.
