<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<strong>Why you should Credit check your potential or new customers</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
If you do not know the credit status of your customer, you increase the risk of being paid late or not at all. Prior to supplying goods or services on credit you should know the financial status of the companies you are doing business with. You should start of by obtaining the following information for the potential or new customer:-</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<strong>New or Potential customer Company details</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
In each case you should obtain a signed credit application, which is signed by a proprietor, partner or director of the business (not anyone else). The following basic details should be obtained as part of the application:-</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
<li>Full Company name and address of the business including registered number (if company is limited). Also including other trading names and addresses.</li>
<li>Full names and residential addresses of sole proprietor or partners. They are personally liable for all debts incurred so the residential address should always be obtained.</li>
<li>The correct legal status of the business e.g. Sole trader, partnership or limited company</li>
<li>Names and addresses of at least 2 trade references.</li>
</ol>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<strong>Obtaining written consent</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
It is important to obtain written consent from the potential customer to carry out credit checks on their business. This is particually important if you are credit checking sole traders and partnerships at their residential addresses. As part of the data protection act you must have a DP licence and the permission of the subject to carry out the credit searches. Normally this consent is obtained by adding a paragraph in the credit application form that credit checks will be carried out on them.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<strong>Perform a Company credit check</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
A company credit check is taken out on the prospective customer to determine if they are creditworthy. A detailed credit report from a credit reference agency, such as Creditserve Business Information Ltd. Our reports provide comprehensive information, which would allow you to make an informed decision about the customer you intend to do business with.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
The credit check can be carried out online therefore allowing you to make an instant decision. The online credit check will provide you with a credit opinion and a risk score, which will indicate the likelihood of the business becoming insolvent within the next 12 months.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
Creditserve Business Information Ltd can provide one off online company credit checks on a'pay as you go' basis these reports can be obtained via our <a data-cke-saved-href="/Online-Shop" href="http://www.creditserve.co.uk/Online-Shop" style="color: black;">Online Shop</a></div>

<br />
<span style="color: black;">The starting off point is to obtain a credit application form that needs to be completed and signed by a legal officer of the business, such as a Director for a limited company, sole proprietor or partners for a non limited business. The most important information that should be requested on a credit application form is as follows:-</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">1. Full name and address of the business</span><br />
2. Confirmation if the business is a limited company, sole trader or partnership.<br />
3. If the business is a limited company the correct name and company registration number<br />
4. If the business is sole trader or partnership the full name(s) and residential address(es) of the proprietor<br />
or all of the partners.<br />
<br />
As the proprietor/partners are personally liable for the business debt it is imperative that you should obtain the residential addresses. <br />
<br />
5. Within the credit application form their should be a section that is signed by one of the legal officers.<br />
which is giving consent for credit checks to be carried out now and in the future on both the business <br />
and personal checks against the owners of the business.<br />
<br />
If you require any additional information regarding credit application forms please contact us <a href="http://www.creditserve.co.uk/Contact-Us">http://www.creditserve.co.uk/Contact-Us</a><br />
