Service-Level Agreement (SLA)
A SLA, defines the level of service expected by a customer from a supplier, laying out the metrics by which that service is measured, and the remedies or penalties, if any, should the agreed-on service levels not be achieved. Usually, SLAs are between companies and external suppliers, but they may also be between two departments within a company.
The main schedules included in this template are:
- Levels of Service
- Service Costs
- Duties and Responsibilities

How will companies hold up under the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic?
The white paper delves into the differences in US private companies and Chinese privates to understand the resiliency of these entities through and post-crisis. We’ve also provided a survey containing primary source perspectives from private companies around the world. They reflect on how the crisis is affecting them, how long they can ship product and service clients in the face of full or partial business shutdown as well as many other insights.
For this resource, RapidRatings has conducted a stress test to aid our clients in modeling extreme potential outcomes of the COVID-19 crisis on their portfolios of public and private third parties, suppliers, borrowers, and other counterparties.
