Business Credit Agencies

May 16th, 2008

Business credit reporting agencies collect and sell information to help lenders and vendors evaluate potential business partners and borrowers. The top business credit reporting agencies are:

1. D&B: Dunn and Bradstreet
The “granddaddy” of business credit agencies.

2. Experian
The same company that offers personal credit reports also has a division that prepares and sells business credit reports.

3. Small Business Financial Exchange
Member owned exchange shares business loan information among members.

4. Equifax Business Solutions
Another one of the three major personal credit reporting agencies, Equifax also compiles and sells business credit reports.

There are many other specialty credit agencies as well. PayNetOnline provides leasing reports, for example, and eCredit (Cortera) offers many industry specific reports.
