Why credit reporting?

An objective, accurate business credit report provides access to critical information needed for making informed financial business decisions about whom you do business with and at what price. The chart below presents what data might be available and how it helps:
What you get: How it helps:
Business background information Decide whether to do business with a company
Comprehensive financial information Assess business risk of extending terms and credit levels
Credit risk factors Avoid surprises from current customers when you review them for credit increases
Banking, trade and collection history Know what to expect based on an account's historical business practices
Past liens, judgments, business registrations and bankruptcies Quickly determine whether you can confidently make a credit decision concerning a new customer or if further investigation is needed
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings Determine your credit position relative to other creditor positions that may already be in place



Why monitor your credit?

Business credit reports form the basis for decisions other businesses make about you. By using a convenient, online credit reporting service, you can make sure that data in your business credit report is accurate, which will enable the following financial decisions:
  • How much business credit a supplier will extend to you
  • What interest rates you will pay
  • How much money lending institutions will loan you
  • How your customers view you
  • What your insurance premiums will be
  • The level of potential investor interest


Why monitor other companies' business credit reports?

Many experienced and successful entrepreneurs all agree that success is in the details. By utilizing an objective credit reporting service to monitor a partner or supplier's company credit report, you can discover the following in advance:
  • The status of prospective customers' payment practices
  • Existing clients' business conditions
  • Suppliers' historical relationships with others
  • Notifications about changes to suppliers' or customers' business credit reports
  • What your competitors are doing
  • Other financially pertinent details
Having immediate access to such data can mean the difference between your profit and loss — your success and failure.



Minimizing business risk

Receiving updates about the credit status of key business relationships is easy, affordable and convenient using an online credit report monitoring service. There are no hardware or software requirements, access is through your Web browser, and critical credit data is delivered to your email address. Track more than one key account relationship and monitor issues that indicate when a business may be headed for trouble, such as:
  • Learning if a key supplier is planning to go out of business
  • Knowing when a key account begins to get behind on payments
  • Discovering if your own credit report contains errors that can negatively affect your cash flow position
