January Vendor Spotlight: C3 Business Information

C3 Business Information is a provider of Global company information.  C3 publishes US company reports on-demand and distributes SkyMinder, an aggregated product that delivers multi-sourced information on over 60 million companies in over 220 countries.

 

Clearly, given the current global economic conditions, only the most current and comprehensive information is useful when evaluating the risk associated with any transaction – both domestically and internationally.

 

In the US, traditional sources provide database-sourced information that can be both stale and incomplete making C3 US Credit Reports an effective tool for such evaluations.

 

Because the C3 reports are written on demand and delivered to one client only, they are always current and can respond to specific questions an inquirer may have.  These reports are very useful for file reviews, when a user needs the most current information available or has the luxury of time to have the reports delivered.

 

The US Company report service offers many advantages including:

• guaranteed to be the most current and comprehensive available
• purchased without a contract on a one-off basis
• unique information that is not offered in competitive reports (% of occurrence)
• FEIN (40%)
• Occupied property ownership
• Google earth link
• News articles
• Financials (10%-Private firms & 100%-public firms)
• customization of reports also available
• includes a management interview conducted by experts (60%)

 

Outside the US, SkyMinder delivers outstanding company content and alternative sources for every country worldwide while saving clients 60% over more traditional providers.

 

Other benefits are:

• purchased without a contract on a one-off basis
• delivered with additional non-credit information
• pay only for the information purchased
• no subscription or user fees

 

Are you looking for an alternative to “traditional” international commercial credit reporting sources? Are you looking for the highest quality business credit reports in multiple countries?  C3 offers free trials to evaluate the services offered.
