Industry Impact Within Credit Report

The Credit Report is an invaluable tool, especially when performing due diligence on stakeholders such as customers and suppliers and includes a wealth of information that is not usually included in company documents. Thousands can be saved when checking a credit report before extending credit. CRIF Vision-net has over 30 years' experience in the Irish Market and has created the ultimate Credit Report and Scorecard to allow your business to make the most informed decision possible.

On top of this we have now included our COVID Industry Impact Score for every company. This score is based on the industry which the company operates in and is marked on a scale of - 'No Impact', 'Low', 'Significant' or 'Severe'.
