Contact your Client Success Manager or support@rapidratings.com to determine whether a segmentation of your supplier, vendor, or counterparty list would benefit your program needs.
At the end of the segmentation process, you will be presented with the list, divided by:
Publicly rated companies
Added to your master portfolio if requested at the outsetPublic companies with a direct (one-level) public parent
With the option to immediately add them to your master portfolioPotential private-rating candidates
Used as a baseline for determining outreach priorities and assessing the feasibility of obtaining private company financials for future rating considerationSuppliers in other RapidRatings coverage universes:

Companies not rated by RapidRatings, including:
Nonprofit, government, or educational entities
Ineligible banks (non-OECD)
REITs, private equity firms, or investment funds
Newly formed entities with fewer than nine months of trading history
Corporate Hierarchy Considerations
To ensure public ratings accuracy, RapidRatings evaluates corporate hierarchy at the immediate parent level. This approach helps identify the most appropriate entity to rate, based on the internal significance of the relationship and the scope of engagement across different parts of an organization.
If a company’s public parent is more than one ownership level removed, the company is treated as a private entity. Relying on a parent company’s rating is not recommended when the parent is more than one degree removed from the operating entity being assessed.
