Red Flag Alert launches international reports

Expanding into international markets is an exciting growth opportunity for many businesses. But leaving your familiar domestic market and moving into an unknown territory brings risk of its own. When dealing with overseas partners, suppliers, or clients, it’s not always easy to access reliable local data on financial health, or ownership structures. And without the right insight, businesses can quickly find themselves exposed. Whether it is an issue with chasing cross-border late payments or changing compliance regulations, not being prepared when working in the global market can mean costly liabilities.

That’s why Red Flag Alert has launched our exciting new and improved international credit reports. This feature is designed to give businesses full visibility into the financial stability and risk profile of companies around the world, with coverage spanning more than 130 countries and territories. Our international reports make global business relations smarter, safer, and more transparent.

Why international credit reports matter

Doing business internationally comes with unique challenges:

• Limited access to local data – overseas companies may not publish financials in a way that’s easily accessible or consistent.
• Hidden liabilities – complex corporate structures can make it difficult to identify who really controls a business.
• Regulatory requirements – international due diligence and compliance checks are stricter than ever.
• Ongoing risk – a partner may appear stable at onboarding but face sudden financial challenges months later.

Going beyond a traditional company credit report, international reports solve these challenges by providing instant access to trusted global data, helping businesses make informed decisions before committing to new international relationships.

Key features of our international reports

1. Detailed credit scores: See instability before it costs you

Avoiding bad debt starts with knowing who you’re dealing with. Red Flag Alert provides clear international credit ratings backed by detailed risk assessments, giving instant insight into a company’s financial stability. Unlike traditional reports that are often complex and slow to act on, our tools make it easy to spot hidden risks, especially with overseas partners, so you can make confident decisions before committing and protect your bottom line.

2. Ownership and group structure: Uncover hidden risks

Corporate networks can be complex and deliberately opaque. That's why our reports uncover not only directors and subsidiaries, but also ultimate parent companies to give you a clear picture of who you’re really dealing with. By exposing shell companies and hidden ownership structures, we're giving you the vital information to help reduce the risk of fraud, whilst also strengthening the necessary compliance checks. This helps ensure you identify controlling parties before problems arise, protecting your business from being blindsided.

3. Company financials: Decisions based on facts, not assumptions

With our transparent reporting, its possible to see balance sheets, profit and loss statement, cash flow and more. This reveals a company’s true financial health, both domestically and internationally. By highlighting overlooked cash flow issues and providing complete, accurate data, Red Flag Alert prevents costly mistakes and saves time, making financial transparency the standard for confident decision-making.

4. Automated alerts: Stay ahead of risk, 24/7

Onboarding checks are essential, but risk doesn’t end there. Red Flag Alert continuously monitors partners and sends an instant notification if there are any changes in credit ratings or circumstances. We want our users to stay one step ahead of threats and avoid losses that manual follow-ups, or time consuming daily checks, can often miss.

5. Payment history: Spot problems before they escalate

A thorough review of a company’s payment behaviour can be very revealing. Red Flag Alert tracks late and missed payments, helping you identify deeper financial instability through their financial standing. When dealing with international parters it's essential to protect revenue and maintain healthy cash flow, because if anything goes wrong then defaults are harder and much more costly to recover.
