GEB Counterparty Rating (per party)

The GEB Counterparty Rating gives you a single, recognisable score on a trading partner — and the reasoning that a bare credit report never shows.

A credit bureau hands you a number and a file. It does not tell you whether to trade. This product gives you a clear 1–5 rating (or red / amber / green) on a supplier, buyer or agent, built from identity, track record, financial signals and trade behaviour.

Beneath the score sits the reasoning: what lifts it, what drags it down, and the conditions under which we would proceed. It is the bureau’s shorthand and GEB’s judgement in one place.

Price: $1,900 per party. Turnaround: 3–5 working days. Languages: English or Simplified Chinese.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — proceed, adjust or stop — plus a confidence level and the one risk that matters most. Not a data dump; a decision.
