Definition
A company credit check assesses a limited company's credit file — its score, payment record and public records — held separately from the director's personal credit. It is the check that drives a decision on a loan assessed on the company.
Why it matters
With a no-personal-guarantee lender, the company check carries the decision and personal credit stays out of it. See how to check your report.
