Help and support for company directors

Company ratings, a common benchmark

The Banque de France’s rating provides an independent view of your company's financial position and its ability to repay its debts. It serves as a common benchmark for you, as a company director or sole trader, and for your lenders.

• OPALE, a free financial assessment tool to measure and compare your company's performance and evaluate the impact of your projects
• Indicators and reference studies on companies (economic environment, rates, statistics, etc.)
• A range of educational resources available on the Questions d'Entrepreneur website to help you understand economic, budgetary and financial issues

Correspondents at your service throughout France
