What UK suppliers say
Used before signing, not after chasing.
“We ran a new retainer client through ClientCheck and pulled out. Found two unsatisfied CCJs we would never have seen on a credit check.”
“Now standard before any job over £2,000. Took one report to change how we set our payment terms.”
“Plain English, no spreadsheet to decode. I read it in two minutes and asked for 50% upfront.”
The problem
A credit score won't tell you they pay everyone 90 days late
By the time you find out, you've already done the work
Googling a company shows you what THEY want you to see

What other suppliers said
Illustrative feedback from suppliers who invoiced this example company
“Invoice sat unpaid for 11 weeks. Chased six times, paid the day after I mentioned late-payment interest.”
“Work was signed off in March, we were paid in June. Fine to deal with, just very slow on the money.”
“Asked us to re-issue the invoice twice, which reset their own payment clock each time.”
Our read
Proceed with caution. Require 50% upfront and 14-day payment terms.
Every report in plain English. No jargon, no spreadsheet. A decision.
