The least expensive way to prevent business credit fraud.(NACM'S 110th CREDIT CONGRESS & EXPOSITION)

Business credit fraud has been written about more and more, as new and more sophisticated technology assists this type of criminal behavior. NACM's Asset Protection Group (APG) is dedicated to fighting business credit fraud and is committed to providing APG membership with the most current information available so members can make an intelligent business decision as quickly as possible.

Why would you want your company to join the Asset Protection Group? Simple. Consider that if you've experienced just one loss in the last five years, the cost of membership would be covered many times over.

So what do you get for this membership? For one thing, access to information available nowhere else. NACM's Asset Protection Group has the most in-depth information available. More than what you'd get on a business or individual credit report. More than what you'd find in a criminal background check. Because APG pulls information from so many sources, and works hand-in-hand with a variety of investigation and law enforcement groups, its research provides more information than you could obtain anywhere else. And beyond that, APG staff can train you and your employees to become more proficient at scrutinizing credit requests and merchandise orders.
