By International Credit Reports
Two ways to source a company report
International Credit Reports offers Same Day and Freshly Investigated business credit reports where available. The main difference is how information is gathered. Same Day reports use existing data sources and registry records for faster delivery. Freshly Investigated reports involve gathering information at the time of your request through local reporting channels.
Both are reports about a business. Neither report type guarantees that every possible financial statement, payment reference, or public record will be available for that company.
Compare the report options
| Detail | Same Day | Freshly Investigated |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing | Existing data sources and registry records | Information gathered when you order |
| Delivery | Faster delivery, where offered; check the country estimate | Investigation time varies by country; check the country estimate |
| Availability | Depends on the country | Depends on the country |
| Price | Listed by country and tier | Listed by country and tier |
Use the live country pricing table for the current price and delivery estimate. A general description of a tier is not a delivery promise for every country or company.
When to consider Same Day
If timing is your first constraint, start by checking whether Same Day is offered for the company’s country. This option uses information already available from the relevant data sources. Look at the stated delivery estimate before ordering, especially if your request needs to meet a specific deadline.
Fast delivery describes when you receive the report. It does not mean that every record in it was created that day. Financial figures and filings still relate to their own reporting periods.
When to consider Freshly Investigated
A Freshly Investigated report starts the information-gathering process when you order. Consider this option when your request calls for a new investigation and you can allow the delivery time shown for that country.
The information obtainable still depends on local records and the subject business. If you need a specific financial period, ownership detail, or reference, ask our team about the requirement. Selecting this tier does not automatically ensure that an unavailable document can be obtained.
Before you choose a tier
- Confirm the company’s country, full legal name, and any registration identifiers you have.
- Check which report types are currently available for that country.
- Read the price and estimated delivery time for the specific option you select.
- Review a sample report and ask about any information essential to your request.
