Frequently asked questions

What company information can lenders access?

Through Credit Canary's Connect, lenders can access company data such as Companies House records, directors, filings and financials to assess business and SME credit risk.

Why is company data important for SME lending?

SMEs often have thin personal credit files, so company-level data and director information give a fuller picture of risk than a personal credit check alone.

Can it combine with Open Banking?

Yes. Company data can be combined with business Open Banking and director data in one view for SME decisions.
