Dun & Bradstreet announced that it will provide business credit reports to U.S. companies trying to limit their risk

"In light of the changing business environment created by the Brexit decision, we are offering our premium credit services for free until July 31^st to help U.S. companies limit any potential exposure and ultimately take appropriate actions to help minimize the impact to their businesses," said Jeff Stibel, Vice Chairman of Dun & Bradstreet.

Starting today through July 31st, 2016, U.S. businesses without a current Dun & Bradstreet risk solution can have free access to up to $5,000 in business credit reports for companies in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., to help them assess creditworthiness, monitor financial stability and evaluate overall viability of the companies with which they do business.  Businesses that participate will also receive a year of alerts notifying them about changes to the business credit files they are monitoring.  There will be no charge or payment method required.  Our goal is to serve the millions of U.S. companies that do business in the U.K. or work with U.K.-based companies in their supply chain, and help them limit the impact of the financial, regulatory, and tax changes that may occur as a result of the Brexit decision.

The free business credit reports and scores are derived from Dun & Bradstreet's database of 250 million business records, which is updated millions of times each day. The credit report will include all available Dun & Bradstreet scores and ratings, payment history and information about financial health and risk of bankruptcy.  In addition, the reports, where available, will identify potential issues like declining financial stability, changes in available cash on hand, and public filings including bankruptcies.  Monitoring these files can help a company take early action on high-risk accounts to potentially avoid exposure to unnecessary risk.
