With Business Status Alerts you can stay right up to date with the creditworthiness of your customers. It can help you to minimise your exposure to bad debt.
Late payment and bad debt have an adverse effect on cash flow and profitability for every business. Business Status Alerts helps you minimising their incidence.
Working with Equifax, a leading UK credit reference agency, the service brings you an effective way to protect your organisation against bad debt.
With Business Status Alerts you can:
- Carry out credit checks, access reports and obtain information on your new and existing customers
