Experian gathers, analyzes, and processes your business credit data to provide a summary of your credit history. They’ve got 125 years of experience.
Most business credit reports list a summary of your payment history rather than month-by-month details. For example, it may list that your payments were made on time 90% of the time, and that 10% of the time they were paid 30-60 days late. Late payments can significantly impact your business credit scores so review this section carefully. (Note: Equifax business credit reports contain more payment history details.)

A study by the Wall Street Journal found that about one-quarter of business owners who checked their business credit reports found errors or missing information significant enough to lower their scores.
A business credit report is a credit report that contains information about how a business handles its financial obligations. These reports are compiled by business credit bureaus (a.k.a. a commercial credit reporting agencies). Business credit reports are not regulated under state or federal law, so there is no requirement they be shown to business owners.
Consumers have the right to protect their personal credit reports from improper access, either by placing a fraud alert or credit freeze. Business owners don’t have that same ability: you can’t freeze business credit reports.

Ordering your business credit reports
If you check your business credit reports and find mistakes, you’ll need to dispute the inaccurate information. Because there’s no federal law that governs business credit report disputes, procedures vary from bureau to bureau:
The key to building strong business credit is to get loans or accounts with companies that report payment history to these bureaus on a regular basis. Then pay on time, over time and monitor your reports for accuracy. If that’s your only focus, you will be well ahead of most business owners who are not actively building business credit.
If you have two or fewer credit references reporting on your business credit, you’ll want to build out your credit history with additional accounts. Here are three simple ways to get started:

The best way to avoid work-at-home and home business scams is knowing the tricks and deceptions that illicit businesses use. There are resources to help if you think you might have been scammed or you're having a problem with a company. One good option is to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
The BBB does not take complaints regarding matters that are in litigation, or those that involve discrimination or employee/employer disputes. Nor does it accept complaints against government agencies or protests against existing or pending laws.
The Better Business Bureau is a private organization with a stated vision to provide "an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other." Its mission is "to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust." The intent is for consumers to have an unbiased resource to guide them.
Additionally, BBB complaints must include the company's name and enough information to forward the complaint to the company. Finally, the complaint must involve a consumer-to-business or business-to-business transaction that relates to the advertisement or sale of a product or service.
How the BBB Can Help You Resolve a Dispute With a Company
Choose the "file a complaint" option if you're looking for a refund or another resolution so the BBB can mediate on your behalf. You can file a review and/or scam report if you don't have a good resolution to your complaint.
Just because a company has a record of BBB complaints, this doesn't necessarily mean it's bogus. It can be a red flag, however, that might prevent someone else from jumping in and getting scammed or having a bad experience. The key is to determine the nature of the complaint and the business' response.
You're creating a record of your grievance when you file a complaint, so other consumers will know if a business has had previous complaints. They can then make a more informed decision as to whether to trust that business. The BBB tracks the responses from companies so you can use it as a tool to find out if a company has responded to solve the problem.
Informational formal reports typically follow the same broad structure introduced with the informal report: introduction or background, support or reasons, and summary. However, in formal reports each of these primary sections likely have their own subsections (as discussed in the previous pages).
Depending upon readers’ expected reception of the content, the introduction may foreshadow the conclusion. With receptive audiences, the outcome is clear in the introduction. With less receptive audiences, it is important to present all the facts and research prior to declaring a conclusion
There may be a few different situations in which you should use additional tables of exhibits or illustrations
Memos are less likely to be used for formal reports, since memos are typically used for short messages, and formal reports are generally lengthy. Letters are for external use, and again perhaps less likely to be used for a document of this type. However, a letter or an email may be used to introduce an accompanying report. Web postings are generally external in nature, but companies may have private networks for internal use. Depending upon the organization, this may be a suitable transmittal method. Remember, just as with informal reports, your delivery method should not change the content or structure of your formal report.
Informational Reports
In addition to project deadlines, schedules should also include due dates for drafts, resources, and other information that is needed to assist you with your project goal.
An abstract is very similar to an executive summary, although it is far more likely to be found in an informational report than an analytical report. An abstract may help readers determine if the remainder of the document is relevant to their needs. Abstracts tend to be one page or less. Additionally, abstracts are typically used in more scholarly writing, such as business research projects. Samples and and advice on abstracts may be found at Purdue OWL.
This section should state the end results of your research and detail how you got there: how you evaluated the alternatives and, from there, you would decided which alternative best fit your organization.
There is no “standard” list of items that should be included in the back matter of a report. If the report is a response to an RFI or RFP, there may be extensive costs listed. In other cases, this section may include sample contracts, which can become finalized should the bid be accepted. T here may also be extensive data sets provided, which cover far more detail than the body of the report allows. As mentioned in our discussion of the body of the report, you may also find individuals’ resumes.
