Method1: Focus on credit ratings

Credit rating is a comprehensive evaluation of the credit status of an enterprise. Generally, professional credit rating agencies adopt certain rating standards and methods according to the financial status, operating status, market status, industry status and other factors of the enterprise to give the enterprise a credit rating, such as AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C, D, etc. Among them, AAA indicates the highest credit, D indicates the lowest credit. Credit rating can reflect the credit risk of enterprises, that is, the ability and willingness of enterprises to meet their debt obligations in a certain period of time in the future. Generally speaking, the higher the credit rating, the lower the credit risk, and the lower the credit rating, the higher the credit risk. Therefore, credit rating is an important indicator to understand the credit report of an enterprise, which can help you quickly judge the credit level and credit risk of an enterprise.

Method 2: Analyze financial data

Financial data is an important data reflecting the operating and financial status of an enterprise, generally including balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, etc., from which some financial ratios can be calculated, such as asset-liability ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, operating income growth rate, net profit ratio, return on net assets, cash flow ratio, etc. These financial ratios can reflect the solvency, liquidity, profitability, growth ability, cash flow status, etc, so as to judge the business efficiency and financial soundness of the enterprise. Generally speaking, the higher the financial ratio, the better the financial position of the enterprise, and the lower the financial ratio, the worse the financial position of the enterprise. Therefore, analyzing financial data is an important way to read a business's credit report, which can help you gain insight into the business and financial situation of the business.

Method 3: Pay attention to risk early warning.

Risk warning is a way to detect and alert in advance of risks that may exist or are about to occur in an enterprise, and generally includes the following types:

Litigation disputes, such as civil litigation, criminal litigation, administrative litigation, arbitration, enforcement, etc. involved in the enterprise, reflect the legal risks of the enterprise;

Administrative penalties, such as fines, confiscation, revocation, revocation, suspension of business, etc., which reflect the compliance risks of the enterprise;

Business anomalies, such as the enterprise is included in the list of business anomalies, the list of serious illegal and untrustworthy enterprises, the list of untrustworthy persons, etc., reflecting the credit risk of the enterprise;

Significant matters, such as equity changes, asset restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, major investments, major losses, major litigation, etc., reflecting the business risks of the enterprise;

Debt defaults, such as bank loans, bonds, bills, guarantees, leases, etc., which are not repaid on time, reflect the risk of debt repayment of the enterprise;

Bankruptcy liquidation, such as the application or application for bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, reconciliation, etc., reflects the survival risk of the enterprise.
