Company Credit Report Updates

How often are the Credit Ratings updated?

The Risk rating is calculated daily, this is an automatic process carried out by the system, which takes feeds from our databases to update scores on a real time basis. If a company submits its latest accounts to Companies House, then as soon as these are available to the public (usually 10 working days later) the documents will be analysed within 48 hours and updated on the database. As soon as this is completed the company’s credit risk rating will be recorded/adjusted based on the latest filed accounts. The system also continually incorporates the following time critical information, which updates the credit scores on a real time basis:

Companies house Gazette
London, Edinburgh & Belfast Gazette
CCJ & High Court Writ data

What type of changes result in the report being updated?

Analysed Accounts
Filing History or Directory Data
CCJ
Filed Accounts Dates
Interims
Accounts Reference Date
Bankruptcies
Passage of time, special request, model change, industry averages change

How long after document filing is the report updated?

Most changes will be factored into the score/limit within less than 24 hours of receipt, unless the filed information is the accounts, in which case the figures must be analysed first. Financial analysis usually takes place within 48 hours of the Accounts being released by Companies House. This can vary depending on the time of year.
