Running a Credit Check

Run a check

1. Open the client and choose the CreditGuard tab.
2. Click Unlock Credit Score.
3. Sawfish orders the report against the client’s ABN and populates their credit profile: RiskScore, score history, business details, and officeholder and shareholder information.

The check is charged from your Sawfish wallet.

The client needs an ABN

Checks run against the Australian Business Register - make sure the client’s ABN is recorded on their details tab first.

Refresh the data

Once a check is complete, use Actions → Refresh data on the credit profile to pull the client’s latest credit data.

Blank results re-run free

If a paid check returns blank data - it happens with very new or very small entities - re-run it at no extra cost.

The full report

Unlock Full Credit Report gets you the complete underlying report, and Download report saves a PDF copy - useful for records or sharing with a decision-maker. See Understanding risk grades for reading the results.

After the check

• The client’s list entry gains a Checked badge, and you can filter the client list by Credit checked.
• Consider enabling daily monitoring so you hear about changes without re-checking manually.
