EuroRating does not define any formal requirements concerning the scale or the type of business activity conducted by entities interested in obtaining a credit rating. In addition, the rated company does not have to have a particularly good financial and economic situation, because a potential worse condition of the company and the related higher credit risk may, in such case be reflected in a lower rating level.
