Overview
CreditorWatch was founded in 2010 and describes itself as an Australian commercial credit agency, with more than 10,000 customers and a team of over 230 people; it holds information on all commercial businesses in Australia, including trusts, partnerships and sole traders[25]. About 90% of its customers, it says, use it as their only credit reporting agency[25].
Its RiskScore combines proprietary payment-default and trade-line data with other signals to estimate a business’s risk of failure over the next 12 months, on a scale of 0 to 850 where higher means lower risk, mapped to 14 grades from A1 to F[24]. The company cites more than 50 data sources, including ATO tax defaults, trade payment defaults, court and insolvency records and accounting-software data; more than 10.4 million trade records; more than 40,000 payment defaults registered in FY26; and 3.7 million monitors placed on Australian businesses[24].
The product is split into Onboard (scores and decision rules), Manage (monitoring and alerts) and Collect (automated reminders and a payment portal)[23]. Coverage is essentially Australian, and the pricing page does not state currency or GST treatment explicitly, which buyers should confirm[23].
