Acuité Rating Preparation · Rating Enhancement · Pre-Rating Diagnostic
Where This Applies
- A Acuité rating is needed for a debt issuance, bank facility, or as a standing credibility signal.
- The current financial and governance profile needs review against what Acuité typically evaluates.
- A weaker-than-expected rating in the past needs to be understood and addressed before reapplying.
- Rating-linked pricing on existing or planned borrowing makes the outcome commercially significant.
How We Approach It
We run a pre-rating diagnostic against the criteria Acuité typically evaluates — leverage, coverage, governance and business risk — and address genuine gaps before the rating process begins, rather than reacting after a rating outcome.
Why EquiFin
- Independent advisory — we structure the rating narrative, we are not a rating agency ourselves.
- 60+ active lender relationships across PSU banks, private banks, NBFCs and private credit funds who rely on these ratings.
- One point of contact from pre-rating diagnostic through to the final rating outcome.

Does EquiFin issue the Acuité rating?
No. Acuité is an independent, SEBI-registered credit rating agency. EquiFin prepares the financial and business case a company presents, but the rating itself is assigned solely by Acuité's independent process.
What typically drives a Acuité rating outcome?
Leverage, interest coverage, cash flow stability, governance standards and business risk typically drive the outcome, alongside sector-specific factors.
