Should I screen my customers?

Customer screening is the practice of running a series of checks that match data points to confirm the validity of information that you have been provided, and screen for any detrimental data such a high court writs or county court judgements. By taking these steps to carry out a thorough screen of your data, you can substantially reduce the risk non-settlement of invoices, exposure to potential anti-money laundering threats, and enable you to set realistic and manageable credit terms for both parties.

It is also becoming common practice for regulators to expect a certain level of risk management to play a part in a business’ processes.

Implementing rigorous new customer checks to ascertain the stability of a business should be part of any account opening process and for B2B organisations, this can be done via our Company Search and Business Names Database functionality. For those that operate in a B2C sector, our Customer Screening Service provides vital information to help you to make informed decisions about individuals, sole traders or partnerships quickly.

How can the Customer Screening reports help my business?

Unlike company searches, data on individuals, partnerships and sole traders isn’t as readily available as there is no obligation for these parties to submit information to Companies House. This can often leave those that have dealings with these types of organisations with more questions than answers – and often having to rely on the customer information that they have been provided without the means to run any due diligence themselves. This can leave businesses open to risk.

We can support your customer screening process and help you to protect yourself. identeco’s Customer Screening reports help your business to quickly identify risk and make an assessment based on facts. We present all the findings in one central report – saving your business time and money.

Submitting a request for a Customer Screening report is straightforward and can be submitted through our website. Reports are generated efficiently and returned to your personal identeco dashboard within 24 hours.

Reports are priced individually so you will only pay for what you need. We can also provide exceptional rates for volume requirements. Speak to our team today.
