Experian tool targets start-ups

Experian is launching a new online credit risk and marketing portal for small businesses and start-ups, designed to help them to guard against financial risk by putting a wealth of vital business information at their fingertips.
Business Express enables firms to grow through simple but effective risk management and marketing to ensure they are in the best position to secure credit for their own business.
With late payment figures for Q1 of this year showing all but the smallest UK businesses seeing a decline in their payment performance, it is claimed the service will enable SMEs and start-ups to protect themselves from the risks of not getting paid.
The portal is mobile compatible, giving access to vital business information and email alerts on selected firms to provide up to date information on the go.
Businesses can also identify new customers and opportunities as Business Express brings together a comprehensive range of services to help firms to build, manage and cleanse their database as well as buy fresh marketing data online.
Experian’s enhanced Commercial Delphi Express will also be available through business and consumer credit reports, specifically designed for SMEs, including access to late payment and insolvency information.
In addition, a quick search facility for businesses and company directors will enable firms to profile prospective clients or suppliers and review their credit score to make informed decisions with confidence.
The portal combines Experian’s extensive data insight and businesses understanding as a ‘one stop shop’ for businesses to manage their day to day activity, plan for the future and grow.
Experian business information services managing director Max Firth said: “This new portal is specifically designed to make doing business easier for busy firms. With cash flow, late payments and the desire to grow at the heart of SME concerns, Business Express combines Experian’s comprehensive data, monitoring and analytics services and delivers that insight directly to your business enabling firms of all sizes to profile their market quickly and with confidence.”
