First Report's Credit Scores and Credit Reports of your Competitors.

At the heart of the Credit Reports are the (i) Maximum Level of Credit Recommendation and (ii) Risk Score, which provide you with an overview of the level of financial risk involved in working with the subject company.

UK Credit Scores

The scores are currently banded as follows:

• Score 71-100       Very low risk
• Score 51-70         Low risk
• Score 30-50        Moderate risk
• Score 21- 29        High risk
• Score 2-20          Maximum Risk
• Score = 1             Intention to Dissolve / Winding-up Petition
• Score = 0             Failed Company

Any score below 30 automatically is awarded a ZERO credit score*.

Once the Commercial Credit score has been established a Credit Rating and Credit Limit are then assigned.

*A UK credit risk score is determined using numerical ratings. However, sometimes no score is available which could mean the business has stopped trading, hasn’t filed any accounts, has accounts that are too old or are simply too new and therefore there isn't enough information to be able to calculate a score.

Monitor Alerts

Once you have bought a Credit Report you will also receive - at no extra cost - Monitor Alerts by email for that company. (N.B. You must indicate in your dashboard that you want to receive Alerts for the company in question.) The headline reasons for a Monitor Alert being instigated:

• Change of Credit Rating.
• Change of Risk Guide.
• Accounts overdue for Filing.
• Petition for Winding Up.
• Meeting of Creditors.
• Appointment of Liquidator.
• Resolution for Winding Up.
• Change of Company Status.
• Appointment of Receiver/Administrative Receiver.
• Notification of County Court Judgment.
• Annual Return Filed.
• Accounts Filed.
• Dismissal of Petition for Winding Up.
• Change of Registered Address.
• Change among Directors.
• Winding up order.

All prices are net of VAT.

All UK Report Credits also include First Report's free debt recovery service. You can select from a choice of debt recovery letters which start with polite but clear requests for payment, through to a Notice of Proceedings. Clients report over 80% of amounts due are settled within 14 days.

International Reports

First Report offers reports from over 200 countries and employs the best agents available in each country/region/area. The on-line reports are automatically updated the moment new and verified data is available assuring the latest report is always sent to you.

For all other countries, offline reports can be provided within 2-10 days according to the speed requested when placing your order.

First Reports' on-line International credit reports sometimes have letter in place to determine the given risk. The chart below shows how the risk is scored:

• A Very Good Credit Worthiness (Lowest Risk).
• B Good Credit Worthiness (Low Risk).
• C Satisfactory Credit Worthiness (Moderate Risk).
• D Not Creditworthy.
• E Rating suspended.

Where the risk is shown as a number it is normally scored out of 100 where the lowest risk is the highest number. If the score is not made out of 100 the score would usually be shown as for example 5/10.

International Price Tariffs

These are based on International Credits per Report with a single International Credit costing £9.00 (+VAT)

The minimum cost for an International Report is 5 International Credits.
