to their customer base, and it's a value add for them.

They want their clients to have access to anyone's business credit report for free before they do business with them.

Before you, who were they using to do that?

EP 470: How He Got 10,000 Interested In Product Before Launch with Scorely CEO Shawn Porat

Nobody.

That's the problem with this industry.

What does Dun & Bradstreet charge?

EP 470: How He Got 10,000 Interested In Product Before Launch with Scorely CEO Shawn Porat

And businesses can't afford that.

Anytime they do business with someone, they can't just go spend $200 to buy a report to see if they have any judgments, liens, bankruptcy, anything derogatory on the report.

So they've aggregated a lot of sorts.
