    How does Credit-watch work?
    A charge is made for each name added to your Credit-watch database. This charge covers the monitoring of your chosen UK company for a 12 month period. When a company is added you will receive a monthly recommended credit guide. The company is then monitored for 12 months. We will notify you of any changes that occur at any time plus the latest credit rating. You will be sent a Credit-watch listing every quarter, detailing companies currently being monitored and the current recommended credit guide.

    How much does it cost?
    Costs cover 12 months monitoring and include the cost of all messages.
    1-10 company names £15.00 each
    11-20 company names £12.50 each
    20-50 company names £10.00 each
    50 + company names £8.00 each

    Business Cash flow Solutions
    These services are available for businesses with an annual turnover of over £300,000. Cash flow solutions for the smaller business and the exporter are also available. These solutions have been designed to suit the requirements of your business. They ensure that you have a regular supply of working capital by converting unpaid invoices into cash.
    There are two options available:

    Invoice Discounting is suited to businesses that already have an established credit control system in place, and have a proven financial track record.

  • Sales invoices and credit notes are transmitted via an electronic link.
  • Up to 80% of unpaid invoices are converted into cash within 24 hours.
  • Your customers pay the invoice discounter, who then forwards the remaining 20%, less a small fee.
  • You can request payments faster via an electronic link.
  • A confidential service may be available to you, which means your customers remain unaware of an invoice discounter's involvement.

    Factoring not only gives your business an immediate cash injection, it also frees you from chasing your customers for payment.

  • Sales invoices and credit notes are transmitted to the invoice discounter via an electronic link.
  • Up to 85% of unpaid invoices are converted into cash within 24 hours. The remainder, less a small service fee, will be paid when your customers pay.
  • The factoring company will collect payments for you, prepare and send out statements to your customers and keep professional and detailed accounts of your transactions.
  • You remain in control, working with the factoring company to ensure your customers are as happy to deal with them as they are with you.
  • You can have 24-hour access to your customers' accounts with daily on-line reports on payments received and credit information via an electronic link.
