The service is an online subscription service called BusinessIQ Express. It’s an all-in-one dashboard to help you quickly evaluate companies that are clients and prospective clients. You also get alerts if the risk of repayment changes. And in the event you are not getting paid, the tool helps you collect.
According to Adam Fingersh, senior vice president of Experian’s Business Information Services, BusinessIQ Express helps you “look for indications of financial stress in your clients.” So you can get paid … promptly.
What's interesting about this service is that allows attorneys and small firms to find intelligence on companies they may need to extend payment terms to without pulling a credit report.

BusinessIQ Express is highly recommended by legal and business professionals and could be an invaluable, cost-effective tool for thousands of solo attorneys and small law firms.
