How do the Subscription Packages work?

Leave a reply

Subscriptions Packages are ideal for any Company Searches Made Simple customers who purchase multiple company credit reports or director reports over a monthly / yearly period.

Here’s how it works…

We add a set number of credits to your account; these must then be used within a set period of time (monthly or yearly depending on the package).

1 credit = 1 product

This could mean:

• 1 Fully Comprehensive Company Report
• 1 Director Report
• 1 Company Document
• 1 Lifetime Company Tracker

It’s totally up you. The only thing that you can’t spend your credits on is another Subscription Package!

Pricing and Packaging:

What’s the Group Structure?

Leave a reply

Viewing a company’s Group Structure is a great way to see the bigger picture

Our Fully Comprehensive company credit reports have an area dedicated to the company ‘Group Structure’ – but what is this?

The Group Structure defines ownership of different companies when they hold shares in each other. For example, if Company A held shares in Company B, Company B would appear in Company A’s Group Structure along with the date of its last set of accounts.

What’s more, to build a bigger picture, you can click on the company name from the Group Structure and proceed to purchase a report on that company.

If a company does have a Group Structure, this information can be found in the final tab of our Fully Comprehensive company credit reports.

What factors affect your company’s credit ratings?

What impacts upon your company’s credit rating?

Your credit rating is an important part of maintaining and managing your company’s financial health. However, is it enough to sustain this by just knowing your credit rating? Well, it is also important to understand how it is calculated and the key factors which influence the calculation process.

There is no universal credit rating system, but rather, a system specific to each individual credit rating agency. The rating is based on a company’s overall credit history and is calculated using a complex algorithm, which takes into account a huge number of variables. Continue reading →

How to save a company report to your computer

Leave a reply

Our company reports have an expiry date for a reason. Reports are correct up to the point that they’re purchased. Any changes that occur to the company after the purchase will not be reflected in the report. Therefore, to prevent you from viewing reports that contain wholly outdated information, we remove them from your account after one year.

That’s not to say that you can’t save the reports to your computer where we can’t get our grubby little mitts on them.

Here’s how to download a company report (once signed in to Company Searches Made Simple):

After this, you simply select where you want the report to be saved.
