Were identified a set of core financial ratios by which a credit analyst rules his judgment, namely: Payback; Financial autonomy, ratio Financial Expenses / Total Media Freed. The third question attempts to determine the main criteria that induce and determine the final opinion of the credit analyst for each proposal object of analysis. It was Inferred that the bank analysis focuses currently mainly in financial solvency indicators in estimating the time it will take the company to repay the principal and interest on loan, to estimate company's ability to meet debt service, without giving relief the important economic-oriented indicators, which supported the progression of a company; are based on the backward-looking type analysis.
