TITLE

As a leading provider of business information and fraud services, Equifax can offer a range of solutions to help businesses assess, monitor and prevent corporate fraud. And through our association with the Metropolitan Police's Sterling initiative, we can assist in the investigation and reporting of corporate fraud, ensuring our business customers have access to the most up-to-date information to help them protect against this crime.

Connections

The unscrupulous will go to alarming lengths to conceal a previous track record in order to gain credit. But as they move along their chosen path, they often leave telltale tracks. By conducting an in-depth search on a company and its directors, the Equifax Connections report will identify any discrepancies in company information, allowing you to investigate further before deciding whether to deal with a business.

Thirty-four individual database searches are carried out, cross referencing company and director information, including previous directorships, legal status, registered company numbers, postcode of business address and CCJs, to reveal any deliberate attempts to hide information.

Protect

Protect is comprehensive online corporate fraud protection service. Based on an in-depth analysis of over 400 cases of corporate fraud, Protect provides a clear rating to indicate how risky a company really is. Fraudulent companies along with corporate failures are likely to reveal certain characteristics and by knowing what those characteristics are Equifax has the ability to counter any threat by ensuring our clients are more than aware of the risk in advance of doing business.

As the UK's leading supplier of financial and risk management information solutions, Equifax holds considerable detailed information on the country's corporate population and the directors who manage those companies.
