Payment status and risk
Check company payment remarks
Want to know whether a company has payment remarks? Here is what you can find out, why it matters — and how Kredittdata helps with insight, credit checks and monitoring.
What you can check
Credit checks and credit reports are based on data from official Norwegian registries and relevant data sources.
Step by step
Payment-remark check – how to do it
Want to check whether a company has payment remarks or debt collection cases? Here is how to run a payment-remark check on a Norwegian company:
1. Find the company
Search the business by name or organisation number in the free company search — you instantly see whether it is active, deleted or has a registered bankruptcy.
2. Order the credit check
The remarks themselves are regulated credit information. Order a credit report on the company to see registered remarks, debt collection cases, credit score and payment history.
3. Assess the risk
One remark can signal liquidity problems. Use score, history and remarks together — not a single number — before extending credit or signing.
4. Set up monitoring
To keep following the company, credit monitoring alerts you automatically on new payment remarks, bankruptcy or a changed score.
Use cases
When should you check for payment remarks?
It is wise to check payment status in advance of decisions about credit and partnerships.
New customer requesting invoice
Check payment history and current remarks before offering credit terms. One remark can signal liquidity problems.
New supplier contract
A supplier with financial difficulties can jeopardise your deliveries. Check early — before the contract is signed.
Partnership or investment
Know the other party's financial situation before you commit to a partnership or investment.
Tender competition with unknown parties
Investigate which competitors are participating. A check can reveal parties with a weak financial position.
Suspected payment risk
Have you already experienced delayed payments? A check gives you a better basis for follow-up and further credit assessment.
Responsible use
How to use credit check data correctly
Credit check data is permitted for businesses with a legitimate need to assess risk in business relationships. This applies for example when assessing whether to extend credit to a new customer, enter a supplier agreement or start a partnership.
Data should be used in accordance with privacy regulations and only for legitimate business purposes. A credit check is one data point — not a complete basis for decisions on its own.
