In times of growing globalisation many small and medium sized enterprises take the opportunity to enter new markets abroad. Especially the new EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe as well as the candidates for future EU expansions and the so-called “Emerging Markets” such as Russia and China are favoured import and export partners of local entrepreneurs. With their excellent reputation German products have always been in great demand beyond our national borders. However, with the increased trade, the risk for businesses also grows.  

Creditreform is represented with its own country offices in 20 European countries and in China, and has built a dense information network with selected partners worldwide. Its on-site investigation ensures the highest possible quality standard of economic information, which makes your international business success on a solid foundation.

Creditreform operates through its local offices, which means your point of contact will be always the Creditreform county office nearest to you. All international services however, are generated by the Creditreform country offices and partners in the respective countries, so you will benefit from the expertise of each country.

   
Qualified staff members who are familiar with the country, local people and language, conduct investigations on-site at all public sources (so-called primary sources, e.g. local company or trade registers, register of residents, courts and so on). Furthermore, our own inquiries (so-called secondary information sources) are also being used by contacting suppliers, self-assessments, news from daily- and business press, information from our own internal debt collection etc.

In order to guarantee prompt delivery of information on as many international businesses as possible, the research we carry out is not only based on an inquiry but on an ongoing basis. Mainly in Germany, Austria and most of Central and Eastern European countries for example we carry out regular self assessments. This form of research increases the quality of our credit reports on the one hand and on the other hand it helps us to increase the number of credit reports available in our database in order to supply you with credit reports without delay.

International credit reports from Creditreform are an essential tool for selecting and maintaining the right business connections abroad. Based on the credit index or credit rating, the creditworthiness and solvency of new as well as existing foreign clientele can be estimated. For a fast and comprehensive orientation credit reports are internationally standardised and their being up-to date is guaranteed by the permanent use of all relevant internal and external sources.
