Coface Business Information

Overview

Coface is a trade credit insurer that reports about 100,000 clients across some 200 markets, and it sells the risk information it uses for underwriting as a separate service, Coface Business Information^[35]. The product set includes Business Reports, a Score, a Credit Opinion, Portfolio Insights, Economic Insights and Monitoring, delivered through the Urba360 platform and APIs^[21].

The Coface Score predicts the probability of default over a 12-month period and ranks companies on a standardised scale from 0 to 10^[21]. The Credit Opinion is the product most closely tied to Coface’s role as an insurer. The service also provides country and sector assessments, useful to exporters judging risk beyond a single counterparty^[21].

Coface does not publish the number of companies in its database or any prices on the pages reviewed, and the 0 to 10 scale’s end points are not explained on the public page^[21]. For buyers who do not insure their receivables, the service competes directly with Creditsafe and D&B on international reports.
