December 1, 2010 – Tokyo, Japan – Experian®, the global information services company, announced today that it has launched in Japan a new monitoring service of US and Singaporean businesses.
Existing credit screening of foreign businesses usually only provides a fixed-point credit report upon clients’ request. However, in this continuously changing economic environment, it is crucial to be aware of the changes to business partners such as: client and suppliers, shareholders, employees, main banks, product lines, competition, litigation and current risks at target countries. Ongoing checks on such details are necessary to ensure stable business.
Monitoring services launched today by Experian provides a high-quality, long-term scheme that checks and alerts changes to crucial trade details of companies in the United States and Singapore at an affordable price. Businesses can prevent bad debt by proactively monitoring their trade situation. In Japan, this is effectively the first full-blown monitoring service on foreign companies, as existing services have remained in their test phase. For US businesses, this is the first kind of structured monitoring service provided in Japan.
