Why Your Business Needs To Have A CRISIL SME Rating

by KredX Editorial Team September 5, 2018 0 Comment

As most of us are aware, a good credit record is of utmost importance, not just for individuals but for businesses too. It is imperative that all owners of a business maintain a good credit record and their SME too has a healthy credit rating.

But first, what’s a credit rating?

A Credit Rating is a measure of your company’s creditworthiness as given to your company by an authorized agency like CRISIL (formerly Credit Rating Information Services of India Limited) post submission of a rating request. CRISIL evaluates the documents submitted to them and interacts with the company management before giving the business a rating known called the CRISIL SME Rating. A CRISIL SME Rating makes the loan approval process easier while also giving your business credibility among other benefits. You can visit he CRISIL website and click on SME Rating or click here to learn more.

What is the application process to obtain a CRISIL SME Rating?

If you are like the umpteen number of business owners who delay applying for a credit rating because of the daunting paperwork, read on. We’re here to break down the process and help you with the paperwork involved.
