National TAB Intelligence (NTi), a leader in the HVAC testing, adjusting, and balancing industry, announced today that it has earned a Gold Badge from RapidRatings, the global leader in financial health analytics. The Cincinnati-based company received an independent financial health rating (FHR) from RapidRatings and was placed in the top 20% of businesses globally. This distinction demonstrates NTi's strong financial position and commitment to transparency with customers and partners.
"Receiving the RapidRatings Gold Badge is a meaningful recognition of the financial discipline and operational strength that support every aspect of our business," said Joe Hertenstein, President of National TAB Intelligence. "We take great pride in building a company that is positioned for long-term success, allowing us to continue investing in our people, our technology, and the exceptional service our customers expect."
The FHR provides a comprehensive, predictive view of a company's financial stability and resilience through advanced analytics combining near- and long-term performance indicators. RapidRatings' proprietary algorithms analyze more than 12 million company-years of financial data across industry-specific models, having produced over 500,000 ratings in 150 countries worldwide. Unlike traditional credit ratings, the FHR offers early-warning disruption insights and an objective assessment of both public and private companies' financial health, enabling more informed partnership and investment decisions.
This recognition matters for NTi's customers and partners, who rely on the company's financial stability to support long-term contracts and service agreements. In an industry where project timelines and operational continuity are critical, NTi's top-tier financial health rating signals that it is well-positioned to withstand economic uncertainties and continue delivering high-quality HVAC services. For the broader business community, the Gold Badge highlights the growing importance of independent financial health assessments in evaluating potential partners and suppliers. As companies increasingly seek transparency and resilience in their supply chains, tools like the FHR from RapidRatings provide a standardized, data-driven way to assess risk.
NTi's achievement also reflects its consistent growth and operational excellence. Since 2006, the company has provided commercial HVAC testing, adjusting, and balancing services across the United States. Trusted by major brands including Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, and Shake Shack, NTi combines nationwide field expertise with actionable data to help customers make informed decisions about their facilities. In 2026, NTi was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies. More information about the company is available at www.nationaltab.com.
For NTi, the Gold Badge is more than an accolade; it is a testament to the financial discipline that underpins its ability to invest in people, technology, and customer service. As businesses navigate an increasingly complex economic landscape, such independent validation can be a differentiator in winning contracts and building trust. The recognition from RapidRatings not only elevates NTi's profile but also reinforces the value of financial health transparency in fostering resilient business relationships.
