No. Sharing your client’s contact information means Prospa is able to run a preliminary credit check to provide a more accurate quote (this will not affect your client’s credit score). Any returning credit score is not made available to you or your client.

Enter the ABN or simply type the business entity name and select from the drop-down menu.

If your client has ABN continuation (i.e. moves from Sole trader to a Pty Ltd entity), please enter the current ABN and manually adjust the ‘Total time trading’ field using the drop-down menu.

Industry selection is important for quote accuracy.

In addition to asking your client about the nature of their business, reviewing the business website and bank statements can also be helpful when accurately determining industry and category.

In the instance the business has more than one focus, i.e. a fashion designer may sell direct to customers via their website (indicating a retailer) but also sell directly to retailers (indicating a wholesaler). Select the industry and associated category that best represents the larger proportion of sales.

If you choose to share your client’s date of birth and home address, a preliminary credit check will be requested and the customer will be notified via email. 

Running a preliminary credit check increases the accuracy of the quote without impacting your client’s credit score.

You can manually enter your client’s credit score here also. In the event the business has two directors, please enter the lowest Comprehensive Credit score of the two directors.
