Your knowledge of the soundness and reliability of your clients is essential to anticipate credit risk and thereby grow in complete security.
In France, 2,000 companies are created every day, which means just as many opportunities to grow your business. But, every year, 3% of commercial businesses also file for bankruptcy. Checking the legal existence of a company and detecting the risks borne by this partner is essential to ensuring the sustainability of your business.

Altares facilitates your credit decisions, anywhere in the world
To do this, Altares will help you make the right decisions with exclusive indicators such as failure score, Paydex (payment habits indicator) and the identity, financial and capital information of several million companies. We also offer you the benefit of verified and reliable information on the country risk that may affect your decisions to enter into business relationships.
These decision-making tools can be provided to you through platforms dedicated to risk internationally, by integrating Altares-D&B data directly into your information system, or by enriching your third-party files.
Altares- D&B data for your credit risk management
The Altares Score
The Failure Score corresponds to a level of risk, i.e. the probability of entering into collective proceedings (safeguarding, receivership and judicial liquidation) over a 12-month period.
Updated daily, the Altares score is a central piece of data concerning the risk of French companies, as it allows you to evaluate third parties, whether they are prospects, suppliers or customers.
More than 35,000 companies use the Altares score in their daily credit decisions, through our platforms.
The DunTrade and Paydex programme
The DunTrade ® programme is a factual observation of the reality of payments in which the members of the worldwide D&B network participate, through an exclusive programme for collecting and analysing late payments that has been in existence for more than 40 years worldwide, and for 30 years in France.
Collecting this data allows us to establish a payment score, the Paydex®. The Paydex® and the FPI (Frequency Payment Index) allow you to evaluate the payment habits of a company or a public body to help you in your decision making regarding entering into a relationship or continuing with a third party, both in France and internationally.

How can we help ?
I would like to manage the credit risk on France
In France, 2,000 companies are created every day, which is as many opportunities to develop your business. But, every year, 3 out of 100 business enterprises also file for bankruptcy. Verifying the legal existence of a company and detecting the risks carried by this partner is essential to ensure the sustainability of your business.
I have to manage credit risk in an international context
The export volume is realized by only 125 000 French companies. But for 60% of them, the first obstacle mentioned is the lack of quality information on the target market, and for 40% the difficulties in finding the right partner.
How can I prevent the insolvency of my business partners?
A payment terms model adapted to the financial capabilities of your customers and a rigorous dunning process are the two keys to a controlled DSO for which Altares-D&B can help you, whether in a local or international context.
How can I ensure profitable growth for my company?
Our decision-making tools, provided through platforms dedicated to international risk, via the integration of Altares-D&B data directly into your information system, or the enrichment of your third-party files, give you the information you need to ensure your growth is sustainable and reliable.
How can I make my third-party repository more reliable?
The classification and prioritization of data are the keys to ensuring the overall consistency of your information system. Altares allows you to create, clean and maintain your business partners’ data repository on a daily basis.
