FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which industry and geography do you cover?+
We cover all industries and the main geographies.
For more details, contact us at info@tpqube.com.
Is a credit rating analysis always needed?+
Almost always. In some rare situations (such as an important implicit support of the parent), the credit rating of the group can be relied upon to derive the interest rate, reducing the needed work.
Which parameters are taken into account in order to compute the rate?+
Quite a lot! We take into account the characteristics of the intragroup financing instrument such as the industry and geography of the borrower, its creditworthiness, the currency, maturity, seniority of the financing instrument, etc.
Is the approach for cash pooling similar?+
No! Assessing the arm’s length nature of a cash pool system relies on a different approach.
It notably focuses on the functional analysis of the head of the cash pooling. Also, in some cases, parts of the cash pooling may be requalified as long term loans.

What about internal guarantees?+
Financial guarantees should, in general, also be priced. The approach shares features with the one used to estimate the appropriate interest rates.
