THE BENEFITS OF A SCOPE HAMBURG RATING

One of the most important benefits of our rating is that it facilitates access to new sources of finance. In this sense, our rating is like an entry ticket to the capital markets, among other things.

Our rating already answers many of the questions which potential investors have when a company which is relatively unknown in the capital markets seeks to tap new sources of funding.

Our rating also serves as an acknowledged second opinion in negotiations with banks. As Scope Hamburg GmbH has been accredited by BaFin as an external credit assessment institute (ECAI), institutional investors as well as banks can use our ratings to satisfy their capital backing requirements in accordance with the credit risk standard approach (KSA).

Moreover, our ratings are increasingly also being used in connection with financial marketing, as an instrument for proactive financial communications and for benchmarking.
