| General Search Notes | This report is freshly prepared in the time frame you choose with the most current information available. Unlike publicly traded companies, privately held businesses in most countries are not required by law to make public their financials, banking or trade references. Therefore, a management interview is an important method of obtaining this type of information, some of which can be verified. Some subject companies may not cooperate in offering certain information whereas others use credit extensively and are eager to cooperate. If a private company is not cooperative, the report content may be limited to legal data (e.g. corporate status, lawsuits, etc.) and what is in our agent`s database. Legal data is valuable as it can tell you if a company exists and are being sued. We do everything legal and practical for a credit agency to provide you the most information possible. Just remember, each situation is different. Though your identity is kept confidential, consider allowing us to divulge your company`s name to the subject (if needed). This may encourage a hesitant subject to cooperate in releasing proprietary data. This consent option is on our order screen. | |||||||||||||||||||
