Credit Score System

As an integral part of its online service, checkSURE delivers checkSCORE for each company doing business with the user's organisation as long as that company is trading and accounts for its business in pounds sterling. checkSCORE is based on some 400 separate calculations using software and modelling expertise provided by Scorex Limited, the only scorecard provider in credit risk to be accredited by the internationally recognised quality standard, ISO9001, to derive a final credit score.

Scorex's customers include every UK high street bank, BT, Vodaphone, Cable & Wireless, Marks & Spencer, Next, Littlewoods, Britannia, Lombard and GE Capital. checkSCORE gives an indication of the statistical likelihood of a company ceasing to trade within the next 12 months. Scoring introduces greater objectivity and consistency as part of a well-controlled decision process, giving online users the ability to manage risk exposure with a greater degree of accuracy and in line with their overall business goals.

For example, more informed decisions can help users to reduce bad debt and offer more appropriate pricing in response to higher credit risk. Whatever the size or type of enterprise checkSCORE will help to bring consistency and accuracy to the credit decision, thanks to the underlying models developed for both incorporated and unincorporated traders. checkSCORE is delivered for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders. The checkSURE service leverages the database power of ICC, one of the largest providers of company information in the UK.

The score commentary puts user decisions in the context of other businesses across ICC's whole database, Additionally, users have the ability to review more detailed, key data, such as legal information, balance sheet data or county court judgments.

checkSURE is the most innovative service in the UK to provide this vital and comprehensive information through a dedicated eCommerce platform.
