How to Get a Copy of Your Business PayNet Report

If you're looking to understand your business’s credit profile and borrowing history, obtaining a PayNet report is a smart move. PayNet, a division of Equifax, tracks business loan and lease payment history, helping lenders assess creditworthiness.

Here’s how you can obtain a copy of your business PayNet report and why it matters.

What is a PayNet Report?

A PayNet report provides insights into your business’s financial health by analyzing:

✔ Loan and lease payment history

✔ Credit risk scores (e.g., PayNet MasterScore)

✔ Outstanding balances and delinquencies

✔ Industry-specific credit benchmarks

Lenders use PayNet reports to evaluate your ability to repay business loans, so monitoring yours can help you stay ahead in financing negotiations.

Step 1: Check If You Have a PayNet Profile

Not all businesses have a PayNet report. Unlike Dun & Bradstreet, which compiles public and trade credit data, PayNet primarily gathers information from lenders and leasing companies.

🔎 How to check:

• Contact PayNet (now part of Equifax Commercial) to inquire whether they have a file on your business.

• If your business has taken out loans or leases, you likely have a PayNet credit file.

  
  

Step 2: Request a Copy of Your PayNet Report

Unlike consumer credit reports, business credit reports aren’t always free. To obtain yours:

📌 How to request:1️⃣ Visit Equifax Commercial (PayNet’s parent company) at www.equifax.com/business2️⃣ Navigate to the Business Credit Reports section3️⃣ Look for PayNet Credit Reports or contact customer service directly4️⃣ Provide your business details (EIN, legal name, and owner verification)5️⃣ Submit your request and review purchase options (some reports may require a fee)

Step 3: Review Your Report & Address Any Issues

Once you obtain your PayNet report, review it carefully:

✔ Check for errors – Ensure loan amounts, balances, and payment history are accurate.

✔Identify risk factors – Late payments and high utilization may impact future financing.

✔ Monitor your PayNet MasterScore – This credit score helps lenders determine risk levels.

If you find errors, contact Equifax Commercial to dispute inaccuracies and update your profile.

✅ Lenders rely on it for loan approvals

✅ It affects your borrowing terms & interest rates
