Risk rating systems are crucial for several reasons:
1. Identification: They help in identifying various types of risks such as financial, operational, market, and regulatory risks. 2. Assessment: They provide a framework to assess the severity and likelihood of these risks. 3. Mitigation: They guide entrepreneurs in developing strategies to mitigate identified risks. 4. Decision-Making: They assist in making informed decisions, thereby reducing the chances of unforeseen surprises.
