What is business scoring and why is it important?
Business scoring is an indicator used to assess a company’s financial health based on several criteria. The Coface Score reflects the likelihood that a business will face a payment default within the next twelve months. It is built from a combination of financial, sector‑based and economic data, all enhanced, validated and analysed by Coface, showcasing the expertise of a credit insurer.
The score ranges from 0 to 10 — with 0 indicating a situation close to insolvency and 10 representing strong financial stability. It provides a quick way to evaluate the financial strength of business partners and make informed commercial decisions. Thanks to its standardised methodology, the score makes it easy to compare companies across different countries.
