The growing impact of a pandemic is
having destructive consequences on the global economy. We should expect that the COVID-19 crisis will change the business world in important ways. The Stock Market
has fallen over the past month and many employees are currently working from
home due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
In order to
retain their customers, many companies use business intelligence solutions to
develop profiles of key customers and suppliers. Other companies have chosen to
work on risk management and credit scoring to assess the probability and risk of
default.
Furthermore, due to the pandemic,
people and companies are financially struggling. As a result, people are being
laid off, some small enterprises are forced to choose between paying their creditors
or feeding their family due to this existential crisis. Correspondingly many
companies are concerned about the impacts of late payments, and wondering how
credit scores and the credit reporting system can help them in this period of shutdown.
Why You Need a Business Credit Report
Credit scoring models are globally used
as they enhance credit processing and improve loan quality. These models offer
institutional and economic benefits. These statistical scoring models are fully
automated, accurate, efficient, reliable, and quantifiable and when managed
effectively they will result in fewer credit problem loans. Therefore, a strong
credit score and a favorable business credit report show that a business can
meet its financial obligations.
However, during this crisis,
customer credit scores are likely to decrease. Many clients are facing
financial struggles and more likely to miss repayments or make repayments after
the due date. Therefore, a Credit Analyst or Credit Risk Officer, might be
asking these questions:
- How many of our customers have recently been identified to have profit loss warnings?
- How many of our customers have revenues from the most affected countries?
- How many of our customers are at risk from potential insolvencies?
- How many of our customers have been affected by this shutdown?
- Should we contact and check our customers’ financial situation?
