Firmwatch
For credit control

Credit risk signals before the invoice becomes a problem.

Watch customer and supplier companies for changes that can affect payment risk, long before somebody spots them by chance.

Firmwatch helps credit control and finance teams keep a proper watch over the companies they depend on without building the process around spreadsheets and manual checks.

What breaks in manual monitoring

Risk signals are buried in filings unless someone checks constantly.

Portfolio monitoring is hard when different customers sit across different teams or spreadsheets.

Insolvency and strike-off events often reach the team too late.

What the team gets instead

Monitor entire customer or supplier lists from one dashboard.

Receive alerts for insolvency proceedings, liquidation, strike-off, and staged filing reminders.

Use alert severity to triage the companies that need action now.

Typical credit control uses

Tracking key accounts for early warning changes

Monitoring suppliers for continuity and counterparty risk

Reviewing high-severity alerts during collections and account review cycles

Why it works for portfolio review

Bulk upload for company lists

Severity-based event views

Portfolio dashboards and deadline planning instead of single-company alerts

How alerts now work

Fits chase, planning, and escalation workflows

Can be sent instantly or rolled into daily digest and weekly planning

Common questions

Does Firmwatch provide credit scores?
No. Firmwatch is a monitoring layer for Companies House changes, not a credit bureau product.
Can we monitor suppliers as well as customers?
Yes. The product works for any portfolio of UK companies you want to keep under review, including lists that need both event monitoring and deadline chasing.
