Why It's Important to Reduce Your Business Credit Risk
When a company does not ask for payment before delivering products or providing services, its credit risk increases. Many business transactions are conducted on credit; however recent events show that it's very important for small businesses to investigate more than just the information in company financial statements. Experian offers tools to help lower the risk of customers defaulting on their debt. Depending on the level of business credit risk (low, medium or high), you can immediately view the appropriate credit reports, which detail business and credit information, including Experian business credit scores.
Experian's company database lets you validate over 27 million businesses. Instantly check the business credit of a company before deciding to trade with them or agreeing to credit terms. For low-risk credit decisions, conduct basic company research.
We offer access to public records of business information such as liens, judgments, Uniform Commercial Code filings and fictitious business names. Using Experian's business credit sources and reports, you'll know in seconds whether a potential new customer is a credit risk to your small business.
