What is a Credit Report?
A Business Credit Report is a detailed report of a business’s credit history. Credit reporting bureaus collect information and create credit reports based on that information, and credit providers use the reports along with other information to determine the customer’s credit worthiness.
Business Credit Reports help by:
- Confirm the correct legal name of the business
- Confirm whether the business is registered
- Determine who are the owners of the business
- Determine contact details for the business
- View any negative credit information against a business, such as court judgments, potential winding up proceedings and payment defaults
- Assisting you in making informed and consistent credit decisions
