Reporting your Accounts Receivable data into Experian’s business credit file will provide many benefits to your company.  Since this information comes from your accounting software it should be highly accurate.  By reporting at the close of each billing cycle you will be reporting all of the purchases made, payments posted, and un-paid remaining balances.   To report your data most accurately, we report many credit terms from COD, Discount, Net, Contract, Varied, etc.  You will reward your good customers and gain collection leverage on your slow pay accounts.  You may qualify for BizCreditReports sponsored incentives as well as incentives available through Experian.  You may also join an Industry Trade Group – only available to Data Contributors.  When your Data Contributor Status is properly communicated, you will find that your clients become more aware of and interested in their credit file.  Since you are actively building your clients business reputation, they will purchase from you more consistently.  When clients plan to pay you slowly (or not pay at all), they may take their business elsewhere…again, your benefit!  Please report consistently on a Quarterly, Monthly, or Weekly basis.
