ICSM Safetynet Credit Scoring Just Got Better

The new ratings reflect the past and predict the future.

We will also be making LOADS more International Credit information available on our Website!

Our new International report service and new rating system are due to launch on Monday, September 2nd, 2019, and follow intensive research into what you want.

We will be providing on line International credit reports for more countries than ever before.

The new rating information has been developed following data gathered and tests carried out over 10 years by leading Credit Insurance companies into the causes of company failures.

We believe this risk and rating model to be one of the most accurate in the marketplace.

The New ICSM Safetynet Rating is an alpha numeric rating read in conjunction with a credit guide figure. It is based on all the information and data on our databases, and it summarises our data providers overall opinion on your subject of enquiry.
 
Near the beginning of our new Credit Reports you will find the Credit Summary which contains the Most Recent Rating, Maximum Credit Limit and a Monthly Limit followed by a history of Ratings, Risks and Limits.

Doing business is risky, as well as competitive and the rating and risk category are designed to improve your credit control by:

  • Allowing you to despatch goods or services without delay (or to prevent despatch) or change credit terms.
  • Influencing your credit limits on new and existing customers
  • Providing sales colleagues with objective company information
 When should you seek a Credit Rating?

When you are opening a new account or reviewing an existing account, we recommend you seek an ICSM Safetynet rating in order to assess the degree of your risk:
In regular tests by credit insurance companies, the
New ICSM Safetynet rating has consistently shown its ability to assess solvency and liquidity and to accurately predict the relative risk and survivability of a company.
