History and Background
ProfitGuard was formed in 2000 to address the growing need for objective credit risk management in the metals industry. Initial efforts were focused on creating a statistically reliable risk model that would be a valid predictor of default probability and payment quality. This risk model has become the primary foundation for the PG Credit Score and Default Risk Scores that our clients rely on every day in making credit decisions.
