Business credit reports and monitoring for assessing customer payment risk before extending terms.
Creditsafe provides company credit reports, scores, and ongoing monitoring drawn from a large international database of company filings, trade payment data, and public records. Finance and credit teams pull a report before extending net terms to a new customer, set credit limits from the score, and subscribe to monitoring so they hear about a customer's deteriorating risk profile before the unpaid invoices do the telling. In a usage-based business the stakes are higher — consumption can run up a large balance between invoices.

Broad international coverage at a price point accessible to mid-market finance teams, with particular depth in European company data. It positions as the practical alternative to the legacy bureaus for routine credit decisions.
As soon as you invoice in arrears on terms rather than charging a card up front. That is doubly true for usage-based pricing, where a customer can consume far more than their last invoice suggests. A credit check before granting net-30 and a usage-informed credit limit are the cheap versions of a bad-debt policy.
D&B is the incumbent with the D-U-N-S identity spine and the deepest US trade-data history; Creditsafe competes on international breadth, usability, and cost. Many credit teams sample both against their own ledger — the best bureau is the one whose scores actually predicted your slow payers.
