Business Credit Report

The collection of information about a potential customer enhances the quality of the credit granting decision. This in turn can strengthen your company’s understanding of its customer base.

Gathering information about a customer beforehand helps reduce the risk of playing the guessing game. Business credit report providers can give you information about your customers that is collected from direct and third-party sources—allowing you to make a more informed credit decision.

Business credit reports are the keystones that help credit professionals make sound credit decisions. Credit reporting agencies can provide credit professionals with objective and actionable information.

Frequently asked questions

A. No. Credit life or credit disability insurance is obtained by individuals to help pay debts in case of loss of income. Business credit insurance (also known as trade credit insurance, export credit insurance, or just credit insurance) is used to reduce the risk of non-payment in B2B transactions and is obtained by the company offering the goods or services, rather than the company receiving the goods or services.

A. There is no additional fee to use a broker. By law, you will pay the same rates for the coverage you choose whether you use a broker or work directly with the insurance company. However, a broker helps you evaluate quotes and implement your new policy. Brokers can also help with mandatory reporting requirements and may help you review future claims submissions.

A. The short answer is yes — because things can change. Business insolvency is predicted to increase due to global events. Evaluating the risk of non-payment requires considerable data collection and analysis. Your broker can help you figure out the right amount of coverage for your situation.

A. Trade credit can help you grow your business. When a business is able to purchase goods or services with trade credit, it frees up cash flow, making it a source of short-term financing. This practice allows the business to potentially expand its market or customer base without the negative impact of running out of cash, potentially putting them out of business. Many trade credit agreements incentivize paying early with a discount, so the business is able to decide whether to pay early at a cheaper price or to take longer to pay at full price — based on both money coming into the business and other expenses that need to be paid.
