Credit Management Association® (CMA), Ansonia Credit Data and Southwest Business Credit Services released The Construction Credit Report, providing companies in the construction industry all the critical information they need to facilitate sales to their customers.
The Construction Credit Report makes data available to construction companies immediately via the internet, including title search (with live links to actual documents) on mechanics lien filing/release; notice of completion; notice of Lis Pendens (action/discharge); public records search on bankruptcy; tax lien or judgment; active trade lines; credit analysis and score; collection agency and factoring company activities; and links to state Registrars Of Contractors.
Rich Adams, President and CEO of Southwest Business Credit Services, said, "The data contained within the report helps material suppliers, general contractors and project lenders perform due diligence on their customer as well as the projects they will be supplying materials, labor or financing for. The ability to confirm that a contractor is licensed to execute the work they're going to do, pays their bills on time, is free of liens, judgments and the like all in one report is previously unheard of in my 35 years in business credit," he said. "This report will help you determine the maximum dollar value your company should risk for any project that your customer is bidding on or that you plan to supply materials for."
Bill Weiss, Vice President of Sales for Ansonia Credit Data, agreed: "The depth of the credit-related information available on this report, coupled with technology that not only captures mechanic lien and title detail but can also download the actual documents, makes this offering unique. There is so much useful information available - it really makes the credit department's job much easier to have all of that information in one place without having to search for it."
The Construction Credit Report is one of many services available to material suppliers, construction companies, bonding companies and lenders from CMA, Ansonia Credit Data or Southwest Business Credit Services including assistance in filing mechanics liens and preliminary notices, lien warning notices, bond claims and stop notices.
