We compile a score of points to determine your overall ContractorCheck rating.
Among items that give you points are the presence of License, Bond, and Insurance
information. If this information is not listed on your business credit report,
please visit www.BusinessCreditFacts.com and update your Experian business
credit profile at no charge. Items that can negatively affect your score of
points or overall rating are delinquent and past due credit items, liens and
judgments. To see a copy of your Experian online business credit report
for only $39.95, visit www.smartbusinessreports.com
or go to www.contractorcheck.com/pro
to view both your business credit report and ContractorCheck report in one
easy to read layout.
