Traditional scoring vs RocketFin

Altares, Creditsafe, Ellisphere

Traditional tools based on balance sheets

  • Rely on balance sheets filed at the registry — often 12 to 18 months old
  • "N/A" or unavailable score for companies less than 2 years old
  • No data on actual current cash flows
  • No behavioral analysis or real-time warning signals
  • Mechanically reject files without history, even solid ones

RocketFin

Next-generation scoring via open banking

  • Analyzes real-time bank flows: receipts, disbursements, average balance
  • Score available from the first month of activity
  • Detects cash flow tension before it appears in balance sheets
  • Crosses 200+ signals: behavioral, legal, sector-specific, banking
  • Gives a fair chance to young but financially solid companies

What RocketFin analyzes when there is no balance sheet

Open banking

Real-time cash flows, average balance over the last 3 months, regularity of receipts, presence of overdrafts.

Legal registries

Company registry, official gazette, commercial register: incorporation, capital changes, insolvency proceedings, tax privileges.

Sector data

Average financial health of the sector, default rates, market trends and economic cycles.

Behavioral signals

Director seniority, risky multi-mandates, judicial history, presence on watchlists.

Who benefits from scoring without financial history?

Fintechs & financing platforms

Financing companies under 2 years old is your market. With RocketFin, you assess their real solvency without relying on missing balance sheets — and make better decisions than your competitors.

B2B SaaS with early-stage clients

Startups, freelancers, growing micro-businesses: your natural target often has no available balance sheet. RocketFin lets you trust them (or not) based on objective data.

Distributors & Wholesalers

A new reseller without history isn't necessarily a bad payer. Their bank flows and financial behavior say far more than an absent balance sheet.

Credit insurers & factors

Evaluate receivables on young or poorly documented debtors. Open markets you were forced to refuse due to lack of historical data.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does RocketFin access bank data without balance sheets?

Via open banking (PSD2), with the consent of the scored company, or through licensed financial data aggregators. Data is anonymized and processed in compliance with GDPR.

Is the score reliable for a 6-month-old company?

Yes. Our model is trained on companies at all stages of maturity. With 3 months of bank data, we produce a meaningful score. With 6 months, accuracy is comparable to companies with a balance sheet.

Does the open banking score completely replace accounting analysis?

No, it complements it. For companies with accounting history, RocketFin crosses both sources. For those without a balance sheet, open banking becomes the primary source. It's always better than a decision without data.

What regulatory compliance applies to using open banking for scoring?

RocketFin complies with the PSD2 and GDPR framework. Access to bank data is always done with the explicit consent of the account holder, in accordance with European regulation.

Why open banking is revolutionizing credit scoring for companies without balance sheets

Traditional credit scoring relies on accounting balance sheets filed at the registry. The problem: these balance sheets are published 12 to 18 months after the fiscal year-end. A company in difficulty today can show an excellent N-2 balance sheet. A solid young company will be systematically rejected for lack of history.

Open banking, made possible by the European PSD2 directive, enables analysis of a company's real bank flows with its consent. RocketFin aggregates this data in real time to produce a solvency score without accounting balance sheets: monthly receipts, regularity, cash flow tension, presence of persistent overdrafts.

Combined with legal registries, sector data and the director's behavioral signals, this scoring reaches accuracy comparable to traditional methods — even for new companies without history. It's the same engine that powers RocketFin's 30-second credit validation.
