Why run company credit checks?

Company credit checks to reduce late payments

Do you know if your customers have any legal notices or County Court Judgements (CCJs) against their business? Are they financially stable? Do they have a solid business credit score and history? When working with other businesses, it’s not clear if they will pay you on time, which can put your business’ cash flow at risk.

Running company credit checks gives you all this information upfront, so you can make informed decisions before you start working together.

Protect your whole supply chain, credit check suppliers and partners

The creditworthiness of the businesses you work with can impact how you do business. Offering credit to a company with a poor credit score may impact the likelihood that you’ll get paid on time, affecting operations up and down your supply chain. 

If a company you work with has an unpaid CCJ, it’s likely that they owe money elsewhere. This could impact their ability to meet the payment terms you agreed to. Wouldn’t it be useful knowing this before you send that first invoice?

Improve your credit control with business credit checks

Identifying early warning signs of late payments or potential insolvency from your customers and partners helps you protect your business. With this information, you can implement stronger credit control measures, like choosing not to work with high-risk customers, avoiding credit extensions, or adjusting payment terms.

When you credit check a company, you can access key financial information, including:

  • The company’s credit score and how it compares to similar businesses
  • The maximum credit limit they’re eligible for
  • Any legal notices or actions taken against the business

No, you don’t need permission to credit check another company. Credit checks through Capitalise for Business are anonymous and leave no trace. We partner with Experian to access credit data on your behalf. This means that the rating of the company you check won’t be affected and your business won’t be linked to the credit check.
