The rating takes into consideration the unconditional and irrevocable corporate guarantee extended by Bibby Financial Services Limited (BFSL), which ultimately has a 75% shareholding in the company as on March 31, 2012. BFSL has a long track record of operating in the factoring business in international markets and the group’s entry into the factoring business in India is part of its strategy to internationally diversify its operations ‡. BFSI enjoys benefits of capital and funding, domain expertise, management and systems from its parent. The parent has infused Rs. 49.59 crore of capital into the company and has in the past provided additional support by extending Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC’s) on some of the company’s banks lines. ICRA expects such support from the parent to remain forthcoming in the future. The rating of BFSI however is constrained by the company’s current small scale of operations and the high level of vulnerability of its existing portfolio, with a large proportion of exposures to weaker credit profiled borrowers with relatively large ticket sizes (although the same however have been declining from the past).
