What the Business Credit Report API does

Lenders and large buyers need to know how a company services its debt before extending credit or long payment terms. The Business Credit Report API returns the entity's bureau history and score, including facilities across lenders, overdue amounts and legal suits, with the consent of the entity.

Combined with Company Financials and GST filing status it gives a rounded picture of counterparty health.

Consent is part of the contract

The entity's authorised signatory must consent before a commercial report is pulled. The consent record is stored with the request.

Business Credit Report API: frequently asked questions
