About checkSURE
checkSure

checkSURE is a complete online commercial credit checking service which allows small businesses to exercise good practice in choosing to whom they extend credit. It delivers comprehensive company reports and monitors current and potential trading partners in terms of their future creditworthiness. As an integral part of the online service, checkSURE provides a checkSCORE for each company doing business with the user�s organisation.

checkSURE believes that there are four critical pieces of information you need from a desktop credit management decision tool:
  • Confirmation that the party with which you wish to trade is an existing legal entity trading from where they say they are
  • A credit score or other respected opinion of how credit worthy that legal entity is.
  • A suggested monthly credit limit
  • Notification immediately if something material (including the score or credit limit) changes
The checkSURE service ensures that companies and organisations of any size can harness this power of affordable, accurate and accessible information to benefit their credit management decisions.

checkSURE obtains raw data from business information provider, ICC, and applies its extensive investment in eCommerce information technology before retrieving, displaying and storing the data for checkSURE users.
