Default Risk Review

A focused, independent assessment of a prospective client or supplier, so you understand the counterparty risk before making a commercial commitment.

Why it matters

A key customer or supplier failing can disrupt cash flow, delay supply and leave debts unpaid. An informed view of their financial strength helps you set terms, limits and safeguards with confidence.

What the review covers

Analysis based on the information available about the counterparty, including:

  • Financial performance, cash generation and liquidity
  • Debt levels, maturities and refinancing exposure
  • Business and sector risks affecting resilience
  • Signs of stress and likelihood of default

The outcome

A clear, reasoned opinion on the counterparty's default risk, written for decision-makers, with practical points to consider in contract terms or credit limits.
