Case Study: Manage/Protect

Ethan protected his credit rating

Ethan owns an industrial supply company and does a lot of his business on credit. While he has always been conscious of the credit rating of his potential customers, he never thought about the fact that his suppliers were equally concerned about his company's credit rating. Due to some slow payment experiences on his credit file, Ethan was not able to secure favorable terms with a potential supplier, threatening his cash flow. Once he realized the importance of his D&B credit file, Ethan explored ways of managing and monitoring his credit. Ethan decided to purchase the DNBi SelfMonitor Plus - Inquiries service so that he always has access to D&B’s most up-to-date information on his business.

Maintaining a representative credit file has enabled Ethan to improve his cash flow by achieving favorable credit terms and reasonable bank loans. With access to D&B inquiries, Ethan is continuously updated on the frequency with which companies are viewing his credit file. These tools empower Ethan to take control of his business credit profile.
