Protect your business from unwanted relationships.

When working on new business deals, you might come into contact with companies whose backgrounds are unknown, even if it's unintentional.

These entities may have risky backgrounds, meaning you would otherwise not want to do business with them. Security is significantly increased if the companies that are in the background are vetted in advance.

Credit Online's Contact Network module offers a solution in this area.

Hidden risks in the contact network – an example

A company may look perfectly sound on its own, while the circle of owners and executives behind it hides risks that only become visible once you explore the contact network.

When the background reveals the risk

Suppose you are negotiating with a new supplier whose own company data looks flawless at first glance. The contact network, however, reveals that the company's owner also holds interests in two other businesses, one of which is currently in liquidation. This indirect connection is a warning sign in itself: it is worth starting the cooperation with more cautious terms, advance payment or closer monitoring. A traditional company check would not reveal this link – the contact network makes it visible with just a few clicks.

How to read the contact network

Start from the company under review, then open the network of organisations linked to its owners and executives.
Circles indicate the roles – owner, executive or legal predecessor – so the structure is clear at a glance.
Check the risk score of each related company and find out who the beneficial owner is.
Review the closed or ongoing authority procedures affecting the related companies, going back in time if needed.

Knowing the connections that lie in the background, you can decide even before negotiations begin who to do business with and on what terms.
