D&B Credit Insights vs. PitchBook

For businesses looking to boost their business credit and get approved for small business loans that are not personally guaranteed, this is a game changer. You will always know where your business stands and what creditors will see when they are deciding to loan to you or not. If you are a sole proprietor I don't think this will help, I believe you need an LLC, Corporation, Parntership, etc - a separate entity from your SSN so that entity can begin to build credit based on the business and not your personal assets and credit

If you are a company or an individual that needs reliable information about SMEs or startups, this is the best platform for you to get this information in a very efficient way. If you are just doing a basic due diligence to see active VC funds, figuring out valuations or companies in one industry, or just getting general information about an industry, it is probably better to get it from somewhere else on the internet. The reasoning behind it is that PitchBook is very expensive as opposed to other options out there.

Best product I've tried

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

We actually use both. CBInsights we use more regularly for market capture, and PitchBook when we are actively seeking acquisitions.

• It has provided us with PAYDEX information to determine how long it would take us to collect the outstanding receivables
• It has provided information for existing customers if they will or have gone bankrupt, closure or failure to prepare our potential bad debt for outstanding receivables

• Saved us from investing with an incorrect valuation (multiple times)
• You need to pay per license per user. It is definitely expensive for a small accelerator.
