What is it?

One of the most trusted sources of business information, our Business Information Report (BIR) helps you determine a company's profitability, financial stability and payment performance. It's an industry standard for evaluating both new and existing credit relationships, especially medium-to-high risk accounts. Plus, it supports your company's other efforts, like marketing and purchasing.

• Verify that a business exists and scope out its size and purpose
