Assessment

 

This is an established company that does not seek credit locally.

There is no record of a payment pattern as the local supplier does not give trade references.

The subject has branches throughout SA and produces a large monthly turnover.

We are still awaiting a bank code.

It would be suggested that all dealings be fully secured.
