Company credit check

Why use a credit check service?

Checking a potential client's credit rating is a useful tool to judge the financial status and trustworthiness of a company before signing a contract and entering a working relationship with them.

Another use for credit checking is with existing clients. If a client that has always paid promptly suddenly asks for work to be completed on credit, then alarm bells may start ringing. You can use the credit checking service to sound out whether another month's payment on credit terms is a good idea.

We have teamed up with checkSCORE to provide low-cost, instant reports straight to your desktop. The credit checks are quick and easy to complete and will give you a good overview of the performance of the business. A Full Company Report costs just £9.95+VAT and a Snapshot Report £5.95 +VAT.
