Why Businesses Choose Credote Over Equifax
Rachel, Graphic Designer
"Equifax rejected my application because I'm a freelancer without established business credit. Credote welcomed me immediately and helped me file my first default."
Tom, Consulting Firm
"Equifax's monthly updates were too slow for our fast-paced business. Credote's real-time updates help us make immediate decisions."
Equifax Business Limitations
Monthly Subscription Fees
Equifax charges $50-150 per month for business credit access, creating a significant barrier for small businesses and freelancers who need occasional credit checks.
Credit Requirements for Access
Equifax requires a credit check and approval process for business accounts, excluding many freelancers and new businesses who need protection most.
Monthly Updates Only
Credit information is updated monthly rather than in real-time, making it less useful for immediate business decisions and payment tracking.
No Payment Processing Integration
Equifax doesn't offer integrated payment processing, meaning defaults take longer to resolve and provide less leverage for payment collection.
