Checking a company director is as important as conducting a credit check, as they set the policy of the company. Did you know, for example, that 1 in 4 directors once held a mandate with a company that is no longer active? Or that 1 in 3 directors have a mandate with another organisation? 

By viewing and analysing this information, you can gain an even better insight into the people behind the company. You will always find the following information:

  • Full name and work address
  • Country of residence
  • Appointment and departure dates
  • Current and previous mandates

If a company falls behind on paying its invoices, it is statistically proven that the company is at greater risk of becoming bankrupt.

That is why we have created the "Creditsafe Trade Payment Programme". 

By analysing payment information from an average of 297 million invoices per year, our payment data programme provides a reliable picture of how companies around the world pay their invoices.

63% of all our viewed credit reports have (open) invoice and payment data. This gives you a more up-to-date insight into the payment behaviour of companies to other suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Creditsafe credit score?

The Creditsafe credit score calculates the probability of a company becoming insolvent in the next 12 months.

We highlight the solvency through our "traffic light" system, using a credit check. This system divides the creditworthiness into different levels. For example, a red colour indicates that caution is advised. In case of a red colour, shorter payment terms and/or cash payment may even be recommended. The opposite is logically the green colour, which gives you a positive "impression" (credit rating).

The Creditsafe credit reports have a national and a uniform, international credit rating score.

Are our credit reports approved by credit insurance companies?

The credit limits included in our reports can be used and approved by most leading credit insurers.

Therefore, insurers can use our recommended credit limits and even integrate them into their discretionary policy limits or at a level advised by the credit insurer. 

It is up to each company to discuss this with its credit insurer.

How is the credit score calculated?

The company score is calculated using the most advanced statistical algorithms available. It takes into account more than 150 parameters, including economic and industrial factors.

How often is the Creditsafe company data updated?

The Creditsafe international database reports are updated in real-time, more than 1 million times a day.
