Credit Rating Advisory

Purpose of Credit Rating Advisory

 

A credit rating is a critical determinant of how lenders, investors and counterparties perceive your business. It directly impacts your ability to raise funds, the cost of borrowing, collateral requirements and overall financial credibility.

Consiga Global Consultants provides structured Credit Rating Advisory services to help businesses:

  • Improve their credit profile in a measurable manner

  • Prepare for rating exercises with recognized credit rating agencies

  • Strengthen internal financial and governance frameworks

  • Secure funding at more competitive interest rates and terms

Our role is to ensure that your business presents its true financial strength in a manner that aligns with the evaluation frameworks used by rating agencies.

Our Advisory Approach

 

We follow a structured, diagnostic-led and implementation-oriented approach:

  1. Credit Health Diagnosis
    We evaluate your existing financial, operational and governance framework exactly as a rating agency would.

  2. Rating Sensitivity Mapping
    We identify the specific parameters that are helping or weakening your expected rating outcome.

  3. Strategic Improvement Blueprint
    We define a clear roadmap to enhance the rating outlook through financial restructuring, governance strengthening and operational discipline.

  4. Rating Agency Readiness & Representation
    We prepare your team for interactions with rating analysts and support you during the entire assessment cycle.

  1. Market anchored
    Project cash flows are grounded in real market variables, not wishful assumptions.

  2. Technical-validated
    The design, capacity, technology and O&M parameters are assessed to ensure that projected outputs are achievable.

  3. Risk-adjusted
    Instead of a single “forecast,” we produce multiple sensitivity views capturing volatility, execution risk and cyclical trends.

  4. Completely transparent
    Every assumption is documented. Every formula is traceable. Every conclusion is backed by logic.
