In the future a company’s solvency will be measured and expressed as the probability of default. Thus, the analysis and assessment of the risk of insolvency of the supplier is a building block in the risk management of every company. The optimized measurement of the economic situation of the supplier to third parties becomes a competitive advantage in addition to the already standard reliability and quality reviews.

With their creditworthiness suppliers not only score with banks and investors: A good credit standing expressed as an internal rating is now considered a competitive advantage in the struggle for contracts and business partners.

Höher Consulting GmbH® offers, together with their corporate division – Corporate finance – Automotive Suppliers (CfAS)®, suppliers of all industries the possibility to be included in the CfAS® Supplier Pool. A previously conducted company-related credit assessment will decide on the admission to the pool.

Advantages of the pool, in addition to the statement of credit to third parties, are the optimization of company-based credit assessment, use of the pool’s funding programs at special conditions and additional contracts through inquiring clients.

The object and purpose of the supplier pool is to facilitate the search for financially sound, sustainable contracts and business partners.

The CfAS®‘s own supplier database makes supplier research possible in both the domestic market and abroad. Valuation models by Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ (CreditRiskTracker), FERI industry rating and mathematical valuation models (multivariate analyses) are essential building blocks in the assessment of suppliers for acceptance into the pool. On the basis of comprehensive databases and high-value risk assessment models, a valid creditworthiness statement for each company to be checked for admission to the pool is created.
