# Entity

> Single-name consensus ratings and entity-level credit risk analysis.

The Entity page shows **consensus information** on a single entity — CCR, analytics, and comparisons to Credit Rating Agencies and the respective Sovereign.

If your institution submits data for an entity, you can also plot your own estimate against the consensus.

<Tip>
  If your estimate is missing for an entity where you expect it, contact [support@creditbenchmark.com](mailto:support@creditbenchmark.com).
</Tip>

## Searching for an Entity

Search by **Entity Name, LEI, CBID**, or your Internal ID (if provided). The dropdown shows entities with a consensus rating available and those still awaiting sufficient contributions.

* Consensus entities appear at the top of the list
* **Bolded** entities are Ultimate Parents
* Non-publishable entities are shown in light grey
