Client Feedback

PricewaterhouseCoopers: 

"Company Watch provides us with greater transparency giving us the insight needed to target specific companies, it's a tool we could not do without." 

Andrew Bicknell, Honda Finance Europe:

"Company Watch enables a portfolio of risk to be quickly determined and forms the basis of our grading structure both for risk and allocation of resource. We have integrated the Company Watch H-Score into our own bespoke grading system, which uses such other information as stock audits, age of the available accounts and payment performance."  

Mike Holley, Equinox Global:

"If I need to assess a company, I always choose Company Watch first because the information is so clearly laid out and presented, and you can build a picture of the true risk more quickly."  

Martin Kelway, Begbies Traynor:

"The H-Score system is an ideal mechanism for tracking financial performance when monitored over multiple years. This mode has two uses in itself; first it can be used by our corporate finance teams to target companies with increasing profitability for investment or acquisition purposes. Secondly, by monitoring H-Scores over time to identify companies with falling financial performance and strength, our restructuring and insolvency division can market their services to companies that might be heading into distress. A snapshot of companies currently in the danger zone also provides a means of finding businesses that could need our help.

The ability to identify companies by location and industry sector enables comprehensive analysis resulting in more focussed marketing and successful business development activities.

I would recommend Company Watch for any business requiring a financial information database system to meet a variety of needs and its web base portability means that it is always close at hand."

Edward Pacey FICM, FACP:

"The importance of business information when determining credit risk or indeed database management cannot be understated. In over 35 years of Credit Management experience in a commercial business environment, I have worked with many varying providers and witnessed substantial changes to the way in which business information is delievered, much of this driven by us the user.  

For me, it is not just the assimilation of public data or the standard business information report and ratings that delivers but the accuracy and consistency of scoring and risk profiling along with the functionality of the services offered. I came across Company Watch some three years ago and wish they had been around when I first set off in Credit. Their system is quite simply without equal.

The accuracy of the H-Score is proven, the risk profiling and functionality is perfect with the ability to create projections and "what-if" scenarios along with insertion of interim management account period information and overall, the graphical way in which data and movements are recorded with explanatory narrative enables sensible commercial and business risk decisions.

I would thoroughly recommend Company Watch to anyone involved in commercial risk decisions as it is proven, unbiased, consistent and so easy to work with."
