Relations with Rating Agencies
🏗️ Transparency, Analytical Rigor, and Sustainable Commitment in Every Interaction
In complex financing structures—whether corporate debt, structured finance, or private placements—the rating of financial instruments is a cornerstone of credibility, transparency, and liquidity. At PrestaFlex, we maintain a demanding yet seamless professional relationship with international rating agencies, ensuring they receive the information, analyses, and assurances needed for an accurate and fair evaluation.
🎯 A Relationship Built on Anticipation and Transparency

PrestaFlex supports clients in the preparatory phase of transactions requiring a public or private rating by:

We act as the primary liaison between the company and the rating agency, anticipating points of scrutiny and ensuring narrative and financial consistency.
