Go Beyond Business Tradelines to Make Informed Decisions

While tradelines will tell you the number of credit items reported to Experian, they are only one factor in predicting a company's ability to pay its bills on time. As a small business owner, you also will need to know the date that a company was formally incorporated and established. This is where Experian's company research and company credit reports can help. Basic information such as this is needed to see if a company is a legal enterprise. Credit, payment and collections data is important information to examine in order to avoid taking on a bad credit risk.
