Why run company credit checks?

  • Make informed decisions

    Make informed decisions Knowing the credit scores of the businesses you work with means that you can understand their financial position, so that you can make more informed decisions.

  • Stay ahead with real time alerts to changes

    Reduce risk to your business with regular updates on your client's payment performance and credit position.

  • Protect your business

    Spot red flags of potential late payments, such as paying late elsewhere, or a legal notice registered, to better protect your business.

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.
