Country Risk Assessment (CRA): Understand global influence  

  • Determine the risks associated with your partners’ country of origin using the Country Risk Assessment (CRA). Expressed on a scale from A1 to E, it reflects a country's potential influence on companies’ financial commitments, enhancing the quality of your credit risk management. 

Coface Score: Instantly assess default risk

  • Instantly assess the financial health of your suppliers with the Coface Score, a score on a scale of 0 to 10 that reflects the risk of payment default within 12 months. This supplier risk assessment is essential for proactive management.
