Funding Souq's Credit Risk Assessment Team evaluates each financing application based on the company's ability and willingness to repay. The evaluation begins with assessing the company's creditworthiness using a credit scoring card.

This determination is based on the evaluation of several factors, such as the company's financial capacity, credit history, owner's commitment, and analysis of external sources.
