Private Counterparties

Over the course of my internship I've had the opportunity to interface with folks from our credit risk group and chatted with them about how we determine the creditworthiness of our counterparties - and unsurprisingly a lot of it revolves around analyzing their publicly available financial statements and modeling out a suitable rating metric.

However, I was wondering - how does one go about analyzing the creditworthiness of a private counterparty given the obvious fact that their financials aren't publicly disclosed?
