What is a Business Credit Report?
Much like a credit report for an individual, a business credit report evaluates the creditworthiness and financial stability of a business. It’s usually used to help lenders, investors, suppliers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about extending credit, entering into contracts, or forming business relationships.
A business credit report typically evaluates factors including: credit history; any bankruptcies, liens, or judgements; references; and financial profile. Then, it provides a weighted evaluation of these factors - a credit score - to provide a high-level summary of creditworthiness.
This type of insight is incredibly valuable before entering into any kind of financial agreement with a third-party, like extending credit, making an investment, or launching a new partnerships.
