D&B Viability Rating® (U.S. and Canada)
The D&B Canada Viability Rating is a risk management tool and a multi-dimensional rating that delivers a highly insightful and reliable assessment of a company's future viability based on both predictive and descriptive components. Predictive components predict the likelihood that a company will go out of business, become inactive, or file for bankruptcy over the next 12 months. The descriptive components provide an indication of the amount of predictive data available to make a reliable risk assessment, as well as insight into the age and size of business. The Viability Rating uses the combined power of D&B's database of information on businesses including business activity signals, detailed commercial payment experiences that capture month-to-month trends, public filing, demographic, and financial information to classify public and private companies into a 1-9 score scale where 1 is the lowest risk and 9 is the highest.
Use to assess business health and viability or find the weak links in your supply chain.
