Question
What information should a small ESG rating provider submit to ESMA for its assessment to determine whether to register a small ESG rating provider for the purposes of the temporary regime pursuant to Article 5(2)?
Answer
ESMA will need to review, as a minimum, the annual audited financial statements and employment records of the notifying entity. In the case of a newly established legal entity, projected figures may be used provisionally for ESMA's assessment. This may include founding accounts, business projections and “bona fide” estimates accompanied by managerial sign-off.
