“As CFO, I was looking for a company that could support me in the fluctuating world of credit ratings and provide me with an independent view of our business. Lightbulb has more than delivered this and beyond.
The regular monthly updates on our business credit status save me time by alerting me to any changes that occur. This insight has enabled a much more proactive approach to credit management which is invaluable in today’s uncertain world.”
Mark | CFO | Plastic Product Manufacturer
“Lightbulb helped us significantly boost our credit scores across multiple rating agencies. Their proactive guidance and user-friendly online dashboard made it easy to understand the steps we needed to take. Tracking our progress became simple and motivating thanks to their clear, actionable insights.”
Neil | CFO | Security Systems Provider
“We have been working with Lightbulb for a number of years now and are signed into their monthly monitoring system. They have worked proactively with us to ensure our ratings positively reflect our position and have achieved significant adjustments to our scores, particularly with one agency who we have previously found it difficult to work with. If you have any concerns about how the credit rating agencies are scoring you, then I recommend a Lightbulb consultation.”
