Creditsafe expands International Database to provide key insights to complex South American marketplaces

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Creditsafe USA, the global business intelligence experts, announced today it has extended its global database to include vital information on private and public companies across the seemingly daunting South American markets of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela.

"While these countries are too often popularly portrayed as difficult, worrying or even downright scary, they all represent great export markets for American companies" said Matthew Debbage. President of Creditsafe's American and Asia-Pacific operations. "In fact, they represent more than $38 billion worth of exports and the federal government estimates that in excess of 225,000 jobs here in the US rely on trade with these important markets. Colombia is our 22^nd largest export market for goods in total and the 12^th largest market for agricultural products. However, for far too long businesses have been denied access to key information on possible business partners in this region leaving them unprepared when it comes to assessing both risk and opportunity."

"I am delighted that we have now added these key markets to our instant online offering which will give our customers immediate access to data on nearly 230,000 public and private companies. In addition, this information will be added instantly free of charge to all existing customers' product packages enabling them to know who they are dealing with and letting them make better decisions when they find business openings in these markets"  

"By adding in these countries we are significantly enhancing our global offering and giving our customers information they can rely on in a format they can easily access at no extra cost" added Debbage.
