The Business Information Report includes*:
Instant Snapshot of a Business
In addition to basic company information, the report contains important information concerning the financial condition of a business (including assets, liabilities and profits), its history, year started, number of employees, worth and payment history.

Overall Performance Analysis
The Summary Analysis section outlines the current RM Online Rating, why it was assigned, and why it has changed. You can spot important trends with the RM Online Rating and Date Applied section, which provides an overview of a company's RM Online Rating changes since January 1, 1991.

Target Payment Information
The Payment Summary section includes the unique RM Online PAYDEX® Score and highlights a firm's payment performance. The Payment by Industry section helps you evaluate how a business pays its suppliers in up to ten lines of business.

* A Business Information Report on a particular company may not contain all of the information listed.

RM Online Rating
The RM Online Rating (e.g., 4A3) gives an indication of creditworthiness. The RM Online Rating is normally divided into two parts: the financial strength code, and the risk indicator. Financial Strength is an indication of the size of the subject's tangible net worth (that is, the shareholders’ funds less any intangible assets) based primarily on the most recent fiscal balance sheet results. The Composite Appraisal is linked to the level of risk and is an overall evaluation of credit worthiness. It takes into account the financial condition but also several non-financial factors such as trade payment history, length of operation, employee numbers, legal structure, management experience and any adverse listings.

RM Online PAYDEX
The RM Online PAYDEX score is based on whether a company has been paying its bills within or beyond the agreed terms, as reported to RM Online. An industry PAYDEX is also provided, when available, so that you can compare the company to other companies in its industry.
 

The sample report below represents the type of information available to you. Not all Business Information Reports will contain all of these sections or all of this information. Please note that reports for smaller, private companies may not include financial data.

    The company shows a rating even.
    The financial situation is very good.
    Da fonte stampa 'MF' del 3.12.2003 si rileva che il gruppo Ferrari Maserati
    ha acquisito la societa' francese Charles Pozzi SA, importatore ufficiale
    dei due marchi in Francia

    Dal quotidiano 'Il Sole 24 Ore' del 28.2.2004 si rileva che il gruppo
    Ferrari ha chiuso il 2003 con un incremento dei ricavi da 1,208 a 1,261
    miliardi di euro, il risultato operativo si e' confermato positivo ma ad un
    livello inferiore rispetto al 2002 (32 milioni contro 70) a causa delle
    elevate spese di ricerca e sviluppo per i nuovi prodotti e per l'impatto
    negativo dei cambi
