When a business starts working with a new partner — whether it's a supplier, contractor, or investor — it's crucial to understand who you're dealing with. That’s where corporate scoring comes into play.

What Is Corporate Scoring?

Corporate scoring is a system for assessing a legal entity’s financial stability and reputational risks based on both structured and unstructured data.

What Is Analyzed?

Financial statements over the past several years
Legal issues, bankruptcies, arbitration cases
Changes in ownership and management
Media reputation and customer reviews
Connection analysis: affiliated companies, suspicious links
Public activity: tenders, government contracts, sanctions

How Does It Help?

Filter out high-risk or toxic partners
Verify reliability before signing contracts
Protect your business from penalties, losses, and reputational damage

Integration Into Business Processes

Modern platforms (like Blasfora) allow you to receive full reports via API — no manual checks required. This reduces decision-making time from 2 days to just 30 seconds.

Conclusion

Corporate scoring isn’t just a scorecard — it’s a real risk management tool. The more data you have, the more accurate the results. And the fewer surprises you'll face after signing the deal.
