Business Wire
Moody’s Analytics, a leading provider of analytics to support
risk management, invites US business owners to try the MARQ
(Moody’s Analytics Risk Quality) business credit score. The MARQ
score is part of Moody’s Analytics’ efforts to equip small
businesses with tools to facilitate their growth and access to
credit. The MARQ score is available for free at
www.MARQscore.com.
“The MARQ score is an innovative approach for small businesses
to easily understand and manage their financial position,” said
Nancy Michael, Senior Director at Moody’s Analytics. “A MARQ score
helps you see the financial strength of your business the way
lenders do, so you can plan for future growth and be better
prepared to get credit when you need it.”
With a few clicks to link to their accounting system, businesses
can obtain their MARQ score via a secure, streamlined website.
Within seconds, Moody’s Analytics’ advanced analytical engine
calculates the MARQ score, revealing the relative credit strength
of the company compared to peer benchmarks. The MARQ site provides
tools to help users understand the factors affecting the score and
build an action plan to improve the strength of the business.
“Businesses will be empowered by the MARQ score to make educated
financial choices and assess the impact on their credit score in a
meaningful way,” said Beth Damis, Comptroller at ILF Consultants,
and a participant in the MARQ score beta. “It was particularly
helpful to see the MARQ score for my business benchmarked against
the industry average.”
The MARQ score leverages the power of Moody’s Analytics’
market-leading financial risk models, which are widely used by
banks around the world. MARQ is built on technology developed by
Finagraph, a pioneering provider of automated financial data
collection and business intelligence solutions.
