Credit reports

Question
How do I find the proper firms that provide credit information for my prospective customers? 
Answer
Check the Yellow Pages and the Internet for credit reporting services. Consider the industry leaders as well as the newcomers. They all basically have access to the same credit reporting information.

If you need to run many credit checks throughout the year, bring the cost down by signing a regular agreement with the reporting service or bureay. Also check with your accountant; sometimes he or she can get a credit check done for you for less than you might pay on your own.
