Credit Risk Services
ICAP’s Credit Risk Services are designed to meet your ever-growing need to get to know your clients
and partners in depth and to manage the credit risk associated with your business relations. The
necessity for Business Information regarding commercial, financial and transactional behavior data has
turned into a requirement for information on the business profile, the financial viability and the
creditworthiness of companies.
Hence, ICAP has developed the ICAP Credit Rating tool which is of utmost importance in terms of Credit
Risk decision-making for Greek and foreign Financial Institutions and businesses. ICAP Credit Rating
assesses your company’s credit quality with respect to the probability of default and/or bankruptcy within
a one – year time horizon. The evaluation of creditworthiness (Credit Rating) is depicted in a ten-grade scale
(ranging from AA, or Very Low Credit Risk, to H, meaning Very High Credit Risk).
ICAP Group is the only Greek company to be recognized by the European Central Bank as an
Accepted Rating Tool Source and by the Central Bank of Greece as an External Credit Assessment
Institution (ECAI).
Credit Risk Services
Business Reports
Credit Risk, Credit Watch and Alert Services
ICAP's Business Reports are a reliable source of information that help you form an opinion regarding the
operation, the prospects, the profitability, the stability and the creditworthiness of a given firm. They include
detailed data on the subject company's commercial activity, such as years of operation, staff, business
activities and products, Board of Directors, shareholders, affiliated companies, transactional behavior,
credit rating evaluation, credit appraisal, 3-year balance sheet and P&L accounts, and more than 30 key
financial ratios.
ICAP Group’s Credit Risk package provides Credit Risk assessment –credit ratings, score and probability of
default- for your entire client base. Furthermore, our Credit Watch service offers early warnings regarding
positive or negative changes in your customers’ and suppliers’ business profile, creditworthiness and status.
ICAP Group provides Business Reports for 3 million businesses in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
Moreover, by being a member of the international network CREDITALLIANCE as well as of other international
networks, ICAP is able to provide Business Reports for millions of companies all around the world.
Financial Statements
ICAP’s Credit Risk Services provide access to the Financial Statements and Mid-Term accounts of more than
700,000 corporations and limited liability companies operating in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia, which
are prepared either with local Accounting Standards or with International Accounting Standards. These Financial
Statements are offered in various forms depending on whether they concern a Sector, a Company or a Group
of companies.
Sector Information
It is often necessary to examine the sector in which a certain company operates and comparing the latter to
the rest of the sector is a very important step in its overall evaluation.
If you are interested in a Sector Analysis you may choose among: the Sector Study (conducted by our
experienced analysts for more than 130 sectors), in which you may find an in-depth analysis of the sector,
the Consolidated Sector Financial Statement, or the Sector Report which offers an overall view of the size,
the growth, the trends, the transactions and the Credit Risk conditions within an industry.
