What score will I get from an international report supplied by Company Watch?
Users can order company reports from around the world through our International Reports service, often referred to as our International Offline report service. For such report requests, Company Watch works with a trusted supplier to provide a report featuring a 3rd party 'BPF' rating instead of a H-Score®.
To help you understand this rating further see the below table which provides general guidance on the 3rd Party Rating and the approximate equivalent Company Watch H-Score.
Please note this is not a scientific exact equivalence, so we advise our clients to take that into consideration when reviewing the information provided.
