Company credit scores & analyses

110.000 organisations with more than 500.000 users make 1.06 million business decisions on a daily basis using our company data.

One of our many strengths is the availability of our data, with one of the largest in-house databases in the industry, where our long-term business relations can access over 430 million company reports in 200 countries.

The reason why we are so reliable is due to the loyal cooperation with local and international data partners. We collect data from over 9,000 local, trusted partners & sources and combine it with our state-of-the-art, robust and innovative scoring algorithm, resulting in superior data (analytics) that drives our business solutions.

Creditsafe is the founder and manager of a global network of leading commercial credit reference agencies. We have live data streams for over 70 countries, and work with partners who are accepted market leaders in each country for online company data(base) reports. By using local vendors whenever possible, we ensure that niche knowledge is streamed into our data and updated regularly, even daily.

With the necessary passion and the desire to continue to deliver superior financial and commercial risk company data, we strive to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our customers. We want to provide every customer, large or small, with trusted insights using our powerful data and intuitive platforms. This is how we help companies change the way they do business.

We collect and analyse how millions of invoices are paid daily from more than 90.000.000+ million trade lines worldwide.

The payment data we gather in our 'Trade Payment Data Programme' is based on real and unique payment experiences of companies around the world, giving you an accurate insight into how invoices are paid around the world and how regularly companies pay other suppliers.

This dataset gives us and you the opportunity to build an accurate picture of a company's payment performance and see how they perform against their industry in terms of how they pay their invoices. This enables you to make well-informed commercial and/or credit decisions based on the most complete information available.

The Creditsafe credit scoring model is a highly and leading predictive analytical tool using the latest advanced statistical techniques.

It combines commercial, financial and other key business indicators, including information on payment transactions, government information, key financial ratios, industry sector analysis and other performance indicators, which help our customers to form a profile of the financial stability and resilience of their existing and future business relationships.

The Creditsafe scoring model predicts the probability of a company going bankrupt within the next 12 months. We can identify hundreds of variables for this model. Next, we consider and weigh each variable with respect to the impact that each variable has had on a company's failure. Finally, we select a number of variables that we compile to create the different modules, providing you with the most up-to-date information in our data and one of the most predictive scoring algorithms available.

With this credit scoring model, we succeed in predicting 81% of bankruptcies 12 months before the company becomes insolvent in Belgium and up to 70% on average for international companies.
