Accuracy and Frequency of Updates
Business information is only useful if it is up-to-date and accurate. Experian's business information database is updated on a daily basis, either by our team of dedicated data entry specialists, or, in some cases electronically. Strict quality control procedures are in place to ensure all data is rigorously checked for accuracy.

Scores
Experian's recommended credit scores are unique. They are based on our own scoring models created from the analysis of many thousands of people. This expertise has been developed over many years, making Experian a leader in this area.

Payment Data
The payment trend information held by Experian is compiled using millions of sales ledger entries supplied to us by every type of company. Payment trends are identified by matching businesses which appear on different ledgers, therefore the overall picture created is unique. The reliability of payment trend information is also increased as more and more ledgers are incorporated into the process.

Non-Limited
Experian's non-limited database combines business data with consumer information on the proprietor to provide a more complete picture of a small business or sole-trader and their financial behaviour. Sophisticated data matching techniques are also employed so that a series of businesses set up and folded by the same person can also be linked together. The depth of non-limited data held by Experian is unmatched by any other business information provider.

Automated Systems
Experian utilises the speed and accessibility of the internet to offer unrivalled quality of service. By entering applicant's details online, companies can view the progress of a report. Auto fax and email 'kick start' the reference process immediately. Access to an application management suite enables companies to view progress, at their leisure, without the need for a phone call. This improves productivity and reduces the costs of communication.

Information Delivery
Innovative automation technology means the choice of report delivery is wide. Primarily fax and email, reports are also available by post, to a website, even an SMS message to a mobile phone.
