Helping Debt Issuers Optimize Credit Ratings

Why Longford CRA?

We are a group of former Moody's and S&P senior credit rating analysts, top-tier ratings advisors, and corporate finance academics. We partner with corporate issuers, private equity firms, and other financial intermediaries around acquiring first-time ratings and managing existing ratings. Our approach is to develop innovative credit risk perspectives on borrowers’ financial and operating position and optimize capital management strategies. We start by identifying and assessing the company’s sources of financial strength and weakness then offer seasoned guidance and tested solutions.
