S&P Global Inc.’s (SPGI - Free Report) S&P Global Market Intelligence division announced yesterday that it has launched a credit analytics offering that comes with a lot of features and assesses trade payment risks for public and private companies, including small- and medium-enterprises (“SME”s).

Known as S&P Global RiskGauge Reports, they provide credit-risk view of businesses and investments in detail and are available for more than 50 million companies. These reports include S&P Global RiskGauge Score, statistical model-based liquidity risk assessments, company firmographics and relative performance benchmarks.
