Here at RapidRatings, we define the perfect storm as the variety of influences affecting public and private companies all around the world.

Companies across the board are having a harder time refinancing and continuing to run their operations. Our CEO James Gellert offers insights into why we can expect increased bankruptcies throughout 2023 and into 2024.

Public companies take center stage in conversation about debt and default because of the widely available information out there. But under the surface are private companies that have a more difficult time raising capital. With fewer capital providers and an ongoing banking crisis, private companies are running out of options to refinance, and that increases concentration risk for the larger companies that work with them.

RapidRatings CEO James Gellert explains why companies should avoid siloing risk areas and how all risk areas are tied to financial health.
