What's in a company credit report

- Credit limit — a suggested maximum exposure when extending trade credit.
- County court judgments (CCJs) — registered judgments against the business.
- Filed accounts & financials — balance sheet and key figures from Companies House filings.
- Payment behaviour — how promptly the company pays, where data is held.
- Directors & secretaries — current officers and their other directorships.
- Ownership & PSCs — people with significant control and group structure.

What is a company credit report?
A company credit report brings together the credit and financial information held on a UK business into a single online report — typically a credit score and credit limit, any county court judgments, filed accounts, payment behaviour and director details — so you can judge whether it is safe to trade or extend credit.
Can I get a credit report on any UK company?
Yes. You can search and report on any UK registered company, and on many sole traders and partnerships. Enter the business name above to search, then choose the report you want.
Do I need a subscription or an account?

How quickly is the report available?
Reports are delivered online and are normally available to view on screen straight after purchase, drawn from the latest data held on the company.
