Business credit bureaus play a crucial role in assessing a company's creditworthiness, influencing financing, and supplier terms, as reported by Brex.
These bureaus create and maintain business credit files, which track how a business pays its bills, manages debt, and handles financial obligations.

Behind the scenes, business credit bureaus compile payment histories, card and loan performance, and public records into a report on each company.
