Course Details

Since 2014, British Business Bank has aimed to increase the supply and diversity of finance to smaller businesses. By 2025, 60% of total gross lending was provided by fintechs & challenger banks, rather than the traditional high street banks. Their decisions are more reliant on data and the business credit score is one of the most important pieces of data for a company. It is an intangible asset in its own right.

In this webinar Kirsty McGregor will cover the following topics:

  • How are business credit scores calculated?
  • Why these scores are increasingly impacting the business’ ability to trade
  • Which sectors rely on them more heavily?
  • How can they be improved?
  • How accountants and auditors can support their clients.

 

By attending this session, you will understand about the importance of business credit scores to your clients and know how a business can influence their own score.


This session will be of most interest to accountancy firm leaders & any client facing staff.
