D&B Credit Insights allows an organization to improve their credit score. It is great for companies who already have established credit terms but may not have kept up with improving their D&B scores. Small companies may find D&B Credit Insights challenging because it requires established credit relationships with vendors. It can be challenging to have D&B approve your documentation as a small business.
D&B provides insight into the viability of a customer who is looking for open terms and large orders on credit. It helps us determine the risk when lending to customers with whom we don't have much history. It's also helpful to see what types of liens/lawsuits they have pending at a given time.
Tells you if businesses pay their bills: They're really good at providing reports that show how reliably a company pays its debts. This helps you decide if you can trust them as customers or partners.
They have tools that give you detailed information about businesses, making it easier to find potential customers for what you sell.
Finding Companies through Search or Advanced Search. It's got an easy search bar. And then for example, we have companies all over the world that come to us. And so we can just choose the country, for example, and then write the name in there and it'll bring up a lot of different companies that maybe are exactly that name or close to that name. And when we see what we believe to be the actual company, we can click on it and then know whether they are credit worthy.
Great UX on the website - fast and easy to use. The speed with which it operates is really terrific and very important for us because we usually have to make that decision right away.
Using something as objective as a numerical score simplifies decisions about offering credit. We have to make a decision usually on whether to offer credit to an advertiser quickly. So what's wonderful about the process is that we don't have to be searching around on Google or any kind of review site and then try to discern whether they're credit worthy. We simply open up the D&B Finance Analytics tool.
Using the correct personal credit score. My score is not right and won't allow me to change it.
Have more financial options available for businesses that actually need funding. The requirements state we need to make a certain large amount in order to be approved for funds.
New and slow growing businesses should have business lives of credit automatically.
D&B Finance Analytics reports have just about everything. You can see a full company profile including legal forms, history records, employee count, years in business, paydex scores, delinquency scores, viability ratings, state of incorporations, naics codes, CEO or business owner names, etc. There is a lot that pulls up in this report
The usability is good but could be better in my opinion. Once you login, the dashboard is great to quickly view things but they could have a better login experience. Overall, I think the usability is fine though as they provide a bunch of information that you can view quickly and easily.
I would you rate the D&B Finance Analytics's overall usability a 9 because it is super easy to use. The only reason for a 9 is there are a lot of features that I didn't realize were there and was not sure how to actually use them or what kind of information I could get
This is a great resource for us on the sales and accounting side of our company. The graphs and ratings based on Paydex, Failure Score, and Delinquency Score are so useful. This tool has endless ways to help a company be protected against things that can be damaging to their financial situation.
The online training was worth it. We did an online training with our team and an account rep from D&B. They walked us through the entire interface and answered all of our questions.
I would say that D&B Credit Insights in comparable to Equifax Credit Risk and Experian Credit Risk. There is very little that set each apart as all provide vague information related to the credit of your business. All of them lack any specific recommendations for a business owner to improve their business credit standing.
Our team in Canada uses Equifax instead. However we find that they're often asking us to pull data and reporting from D&B instead. D&B's Finance Analytics data is more detailed, easier to use, and can quickly be saved & shared. This makes is easy and FAST for our business to make more informed decisions. D&B blows the competition away even from an international perspective.
Being able to secure favorable terms for business financing has a huge impact on my business. Before building my business credit I had to rely solely on my personal credit and provide a personal guarantee. Now my business is separate and has its own business scores.
Previously I had to utlize MCA loans and other short term, high interest loans, where now I can qualify for much more favorable terms, lower interest rates, and business credit cards with better perks.
Reducing risk by pointing out potential issues at the outset
Hard quantification of certain metrics, in particular the Paydex stat, as well as failure and delinquency likelihood.
Assists with lowering DSO (sorry, no hard figures available) by letting us know when there is a potential issue from the beginning, or when we update our records.
