Debunking Commercial Credit Information

Thousands of commercial credit reports are purchased in North America every minute. The credit information industry is driven by a few major players. While these companies sell information about specific businesses, the business world has very little knowledge of how the industry works.

How do they gather the information?
How accurate is the information?
How does the information affect my business as a user of the information?
How does the information they have on my business affect my business?
Who are the players in this industry?
Why do I hear so little about how they operate?

We will focus on these questions over the coming weeks as well as any questions that you may have. Feel free to place them in the comments section as they will be one of the driving forces behind what we post.
