NEW RISK REPORT FROM EXPERIAN BRINGS GREATER INSIGHT
INTO COMMERCIAL CREDIT GRANTING
Experian®, the global information solutions company, has unveiled The Risk Report
– a pioneering new online commercial risk report which sets new standards for
customer usability, experience and superior data.
By combining its advanced data assets and highly predictive scoring capabilities, with
customer-centred design, Experian is bringing greater insight into the whole
commercial credit-granting process. The Risk Report will enable businesses to make
intelligent, responsible and informed decisions – instantaneously without the need to
trawl through extensive information in order to reach a decision.
Central to this is the development of a completely new risk dashboard. The risk
dashboard provides access to live, real-time corporate data in a single one page view
summarising all the top-level, key risk information essential for making fast,
business-critical credit risk decisions.
This information includes the risk score and credit limit assigned against the particular
company being checked, payment information on how quickly the company pays its
bills, CCJ information and whether there are any alerts against the company. These
alerts highlight any potential cause of concern that may need to be investigated
further, including a change in company name, director disqualification or serial
director failure.
In addition, trend information is also provided to illustrate, in a clear and simple way,
whether there is an upward, improving or downward trend in terms of a company’s
stability, risk and long-term creditworthiness.
Jo Howard, Marketing Director of Experian’s Business Information division, said:

a way that the user experience is gr
