Understand our Credit Reports | |
| Our online company reports are generated in real time by compiling thousands of data points from official sources including basic information, financials and credit data. The benefit of your Pro account is the ability to unlock the following key pieces of information (not available on our basic plan). | |
| Credit Rating Our unique 5 star rating provides a quick initial assessment of a company's current status. 1 star for the lowest performing and 5 stars for the highest performing companies. | Risk Score The score rates from 1-100 and indicates the likelihood of a company becoming insolvent within the next 12 month period. Companies with a high score are considered a lower risk. |
| Credit Limit Only extend lines of credit that each customer can afford. Our recommended credit limit refers to the total credit we recommend offering a company at any one time. | Mortgages Review all outstanding and satisfied charges registered against a company record at Companies House. A mortgage or charge is the security a company gives for a loan. |
| County Court Judgements Review details of any CCJs issued against a company in the last 6 years. Judgements refer to a debt settled via court and have a substantial impact on a company's rating. | Payment History Compare the total number of paid versus outstanding invoices taken from our growing database of millions of sales ledgers, provided by businesses from around the world. |

Check on a Director's other interests |
It's common for an individual to be appointed as director or secretary at multiple companies, so it pays to understand any risks associated with a director's other business interests. With 100% coverage of all UK companies and directors, finding relationships is simple. Search by director name or click through to a director record from the 'Directors & Secretaries' table on the 'COMPANIES HOUSE DATA' tab of a company report. Our director reports show you details of all an individual's business interests past and present, allowing you to spot any potential red flags. The summary provides our unique combined risk score (taking into account the likelihood of insolvency of all a director's active companies). You'll also find individual snapshots of each company, including current risk score, credit limit, CCJs, financials and related directors. |
| Tip: download official documents pertaining to director appointments or terminations from the Documents tab |
