What Does an Experian Business Credit Report Include?

Checking business credit reports helps you spot signs of financial distress that could disrupt your cash flow or put your business at risk. Before you extend credit to a new customer, you should check their business credit report to be sure they are financially healthy and pay their bills on time. Business credit reports give you an overall credit score, an analysis of the company’s credit history and use predictive models to forecast future behavior.

So, what does an Experian business credit report include? Depending on which type of report you choose, you can get information such as:

  • Insight into whether a customer will pay you on time
  • The risk of a business filing bankruptcy or closing
  • Whether businesses are delinquent on bills
  • How businesses stack up against others in their industry
  • Whether a business has been a previous fraud victim
  • How companies are handling current credit, including summaries of tradeline data
  • Public record information, such as bankruptcies, tax liens, judgments, and UCC filings

Why Should You Use an Experian Business Credit Report?

Business credit reports give you a fast way to review historical data of how customers handle their credit to help you make better decisions about extending credit and establishing credit limits.

Business Credit Reports for Customers

Rather than relying on a customer self-reporting their creditworthiness or providing you with hand-picked references, business credit reports offer an independent assessment of a company’s financial history along with predictive analysis of future risk.

Business credit reports are also valuable for checking the financial health of current customers. The earlier you spot warning signs of financial distress, the sooner you can take appropriate action to avoid putting your own business at risk.

Business Credit Reports for Suppliers

When you place an order or send a PO to a supplier, you are trusting that they can deliver the materials or items as promised. If the supplier is having financial difficulty and cannot deliver on time, it can create significant hardships for your business and hurt your cash flow as well as your business reputation.

We saw this scenario play out in real-time during the COVID-19 pandemic when supply chains were disrupted and businesses were unable to satisfy customer demand for products.

You can avoid this problem and protect yourself by making sure suppliers are in a position to deliver what you need.

Checking Your Business Credit Report

It is also a good idea to monitor the credit scores for your own business so you know what others see when they check your credit.

When you know you have a good credit score, you can negotiate better credit and more favorable terms. Keeping an eye on your business credit report can also help you spot areas that need improvement in case you want to apply for a loan.
