Running a Credit Check

Run a check

1. Open the client and choose the Credit Score 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. Sections fill in as their data arrives - company details can take a few moments to land, and empty sections stay hidden until they do.

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.
