The Importance of Company Credit Checks

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

The phrase ‘cash flow is king’, is no less true because of its overuse. Indeed, despite the fact that the government has announced that the UK is out of the recession, it is still vital that all small businesses maintain and manage their cash flow effectively.

From minimizing costs and maintaining healthy product margins, to reducing bad debt and keeping a close eye on your company’s finances there are many ways of maintaining a positive cash flow.

However, just any small business owner should observe the phrase ‘cash flow is king’, they should also take sometime to consider the thought that ‘failing to plan is planning to fail.’ In short, before your business incurs bad debt and you have to dedicate valuable time and resource to getting back the money you are owed, why not run a company credit check on the company you are planning to work with?

What have you got to lose?

The Importance of a Company Credit Report

Monday, February 15th, 2010

There are a number of factors that contribute to a person’s decision to buy something, regardless of whether it is a product or a particular service. However, a company’s credit, for many people, is way down on the list.

Historically, consumers considered, price, quality and brand way before they thought about whether a company is safe to do business with. However, research has found, that the recession has changed the consumer mind set to such an extent, that many consumers are now looking to access a company credit report, way before they commit to buying.

Consumer watchdog James Matthews comments; “The recession has undoubtedly seen the return of consumer power. The well documented fall of many high street juggernauts has shown the consumer that no brand, however well established, is immune to economic difficulty. Therefore, many customers are more cautious and this can be seen in the rise of the number of people looking to access a company credit report, before committing to larger purchases.”

Company Credit Reports £1 for 1 day offer was a huge success – a campaign we’ll be repeating so watch this space…

On Wednesday 27th January the team at Company Searches Made Simple decided to go all out and create a show stopping offer – any single report just £1!

At Company Searches Made Simple we’re all very aware of how important it is, particularly in our cautious climate, that businesses really do know who they are doing business with.  A simple and effective way to check out your competitors, potential business partners, suppliers and new clients, is to run a company credit check on them.

The company credit check reports provide you with an overview of what’s happening from a financial perspective, covering company credit score, details of directors (and other companies they are involved with), ccj information, mortgages, group structure, up to date accounts and accounts history.  Comprehensive information to provide you with a good understanding of how ‘sound’ the business is.

The £1 for 1 day offer ran from first thing Wednesday morning until midnight – and in that 24 hour period we sold a huge amount of company credit reports, company documents, director reports and company monitors.

Traffic to the site doubled – and whilst the transactions were only for £1 – the biggest impact has been what’s happened since we ran the offer. 

What appears to have happened is that companies have seen the value in the reports – and have come back to buy more. 

Our research tells us that even without running any offers, our company credit reports are the cheapest on the market, and yet whilst they are low cost, we don’t skimp on quality – the company credit reports are very comprehensive.

We’ve sold more company credit report packages since our first £1 offer too – and with packages starting at just £17, and you can purchase ‘unlimited reports’ for just £200, then it’s no surprise, that having sampled the reports (for just £1) – companies are coming back for more.

For those that purchased a report during our offer – we now welcome you to our ‘Priority Notification of Offers’ club.  We’ll be notifying you 48 hours before anyone else of our next £1 – so be prepared to hear from us very soon…
