What you receive from credit reports for merchants
- Credit information for your decision, usually within minutes
- A credit report that makes information available to help you decide
- The most complete, accurate and comprehensive credit information available, to support important credit decisions for your business
When to order a business credit report
Order before you let a customer charge a purchase, before you lend money, before you rent an apartment or home, or before you hire anyone. A customer credit check belongs ahead of the sale, not after the problem.
It starts with a simple call, so you extend credit on information rather than a guess.
Who orders this
Shop owners, local merchants, landlords and employers who weigh credit decisions every week. If an account later goes past due, our collection services can pick up from there.

- A phone or fax number where we can reach you
Our staff will take it from there and tell you what else is required.
