Here you will find a quick guide for help.

Credit check with D&B Rating.

Grant credit:
Companies with AAA, AA and A-rating can be granted credit. You will find our maximum credit limit per 30 days on the report. Based on your risk profile you can decide whether or not you would grant credit to a company with AN-rating.

Closer evaluation:
Companies with B-rating we recommend credit against security. You can base your decision on the D&B Rating or add more information by retrieving a D&B Compact. Companies with C-rating and "Rating not established" we advice you not to grant any credit.

Credit check with D&B Compact.

Grant credit:
Companies with AAA, AA and A-rating can be granted credit as long as the recommended credit limit from Dun & Bradstreet is at least 50.000,-.

Closer evaluation:
Companies with AN-rating need a closer evaluation. Relevant data are size of the share capital (if it is a ltd. Co.), and the key persons behind the company. We recommend you to secure credit to AN-rated companies until you have more information about the company. Main rule for B-rated companies is credit against security. Retrieve a D&B Standard and evaluate the key financial figures, then you can evaluate the company closer to see if is a strong or a weak B. Companies with C-rating and "Rating not established", we recommend cash payment up front.

Check the credit profiles; Finance and Ability to pay, the "strong" B’s are those with "weak" on Finance and "clear" on Ability to pay, those companies had a weak Financial Statement, but they have no problems paying their bills. A more positive financial profile combined with remarks on payment indicates a weaker B. Companies with C-rating and "Rating not established", we recommend cash payment up front.
