The (un) investment process is related to the ability of a company to be able to make a correct assessment of the risks to which the asset is subject. The decision-making process is aided by indicators in which the rating categories and grades indicate, in a simplified way, the risks and assumptions of the issuer's and security´s quality. This simplification assists in the realization of investments by companies, since it facilitates their capture of third-party resources. Banks and debenture holders perceive the quality of the debt security through the credit rating of the entity, pointing to the future expectations of return, estimated cash flows and opportunity cost involved. In this way, changes in rating categories and grades influence the company's indebtedness levels and induce organizations to issue more or less debt. This ratio of rating to decision making in the capital structure is denominated Credit Rating - Capital Structure (CR-CS). Therefore, the main objective of this study is to analyze the influence of the credit rating on the companies' indebtedness. In addition, analyzes are made regarding the relationships between growth opportunities and their need for external funding and rating. For this purpose, a final sample is used with 74 non-financial companies from Brasil Bolsa Balcão (B3), whose 685 annual data are obtained during the period from 2000 to 2016, from the Capital IQ and Bloomberg database. The sample is analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and the hypotheses are tested through correlation analysis and regression with panel data. The results show sporadic significance with some categories and rating grades, and it is not possible to confirm CR-CS as a determinant of the capital structure of companies.
