Most companies need to reflect strong credit scores and indexes to stay relevant in their industry, compete on jobs, and gain desirable payment terms or loans. Credit scores are generated based on information collected by the credit bureaus. A credit bureau is an organization who collects data, information, and payment history on businesses and individuals.
There are three major business credit bureaus – Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax, as well as, several smaller agencies. When the bureaus are sent information on a business a profile is created, and once there is enough data scores and indexes are generated. A creditor, vendor, lender, partner, or new account will review business credit reports and scores to help define risk before agreeing to work with a firm.
Our business credit services become a solution for firms who find their business credit to be poor, reflecting incorrect information, or those who just want to insure they continue remaining at the top tier credit status. We also have business credit services for company’s who have not yet established positive business credit profiles and those who do not even have a file set up.
So many companies do not understand how their business credit is used and how important it is for their future success and growth. In this case, what you don’t know can hurt you!
North Shore Advisory offers business credit repair, building, and monitoring services. We help companies build and maintain a strong reputation, stay relevant in their industry and one-step-ahead of competitors.
In this program we will fix, change, correct, and delete information that is hurting the reports. It’s common for incorrect data to land on business reports. The unregulated nature of business credit means it’s more likely for information to get mixed up. On the monitoring end, we will watch the credit profiles daily, if negative information appears our team will work to remove it. Monitoring is such a crucial component for so many of our clients who need to maintain scores daily.
Our Concierge Business Credit Building program is done in-house by our team of business credit specialists. You will have an account manager who will develop a custom approach to build up each profile and begin to generate scores. This program will offer you a wider variety of starter and secondary vendors.
We developed an online Do-It-Yourself Business Credit Building System for new companies who are not yet ready to invest in the Concierge Program. It is a step-by-step guide taking you through the process of establishing business credit profiles and offers a list of starter vendors who will automatically report.
Business credit reports are expensive – so we offer the option to pull a merged report on our clients behalf. These merged reports offer a detailed account of all the company’s tradelines, vendor accounts, and public record information. Third party inquiries have less of an impact on business credit then they do on consumer credit – pulling company reports will not have a significant impact on your scores since the threshold for ‘excessive’ inquiries on business credit is much higher than with personal credit.
Our fees are charged based on the amount of information that needs to be repaired, corrected, and/or built. Cost will depend on how many bureaus we are working on, the amount of negative information, and the length of time your account manager feels it will take to restore each report. To provide an accurate quote and give the best feedback, we need to see a copy of the reports. By analyzing each report, we can give you educated feedback on how long the process will take and our likelihood for success.
