The Secret to Avoiding Bad Debt? Predict Business Failures Before They Happen.

Avoiding bad debt is one of the smartest ways to protect your business, and we're here to help. Whether you're running a growing SME or managing risk in a large enterprise, reducing unnecessary costs is a top priority. Many companies focus on cutting operational costs, but one of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, ways to protect your business is by avoiding bad debt.

The good news? At CRIFVision-net, we equip businesses with the insights to do just that - predicting over 80% of business insolvencies up to six months in advance.

What Makes Our Credit Reports Different?

Imagine being able to spot a struggling customer or supplier before they default. That's exactly what CRIFVision-net's credit reports are designed to do. Built on real-time data and the most advanced credit scoring model in Ireland, our reports continuously analyse over 300 key risk factors affecting Irish businesses, every single day.

Not every customer or business partner you deal with will be a registered company, and that's where our broader reach makes a real difference. CRIFVision-net doesn't just assess businesses; we deliver deep insights into individuals too.

These include:

  • Consumer Bad Debt Judgements
  • Bankruptcy Search
  • Disqualified / Restricted Person Search
  • Directorship Search
  • Business Owners Search
  • Personal Insolvency Arrangements Search
  • Debt Settlement Arrangements Search
  • Debt Relief Notice Search
