But have you ever considered the additional benefits that having 24/7 online access to your business credit report, over a period of time, could bring to your business?
With your bank account, you want ease of access whenever you need it, with the ability to monitor your transactions and check how your balance is being impacted.

One-off report or online access?
When you do check your credit score, it’s simply a snapshot of your profile at a specific moment in time and whilst it’s accurate at that moment, how long could it take for that score to change and for the information you have to go out of date? Therefore it’s important to monitor your businesses’ profile over a period of time to help you make the right decisions for your business. Through having online access; if something is negatively impacting your credit score, you’ll know almost immediately and you’ll have the insight you need to help put things back on track.
