From the Financial Benchmarking endpoint, you can retrieve financial benchmarks within the Railz cohort based on the age of business, industry code and region.

Data Dependencies

  • Financial benchmarks depend on the financial statements and financial ratios a business. In addition, a business must have populated at least a business name or domain name in their business information to allow Railz to infer the industry code (NAICS).
  • List of 2022 NAICS codes Railz support.
  • Financial Benchmarks will not be available if dependencies are missing or if the service provider connected does not support the data types required. See supported data types for more details.

All financial benchmarks are part of an array of reports. See Reports data type for more details on the report structure and its meta-data.
