Chongqing Business Credit Investigation and Consultation Center (CBCI) was founded in June, 1998 under the approval of the Office of the Information Industry Leadership Group of Chongqing Municipal Government. The purpose of setting up this organization is to ensure the national economic security and establish a normative order in Chongqing's market economy. CBCI has an experienced team with either professional managerial or overseas educational backgrounds. After two years' hard work, CBCI has created a scientific credit rating system for companies and the improved credit information database. The China Credit Information Network ( http://www.creditinfo.com.cn ), owned by CBCI, is the largest and most authoritative professional credit information portal China.

After two years' effort, CBCI has made considerable development in its organizational structure, software and hardware equipment, data resources and legal theory research. CBCI plans to establish scientific ratings for all business enterprises and individuals in Chongqing. CBCI's patented software The Smart Credit Rating System can produce the credit ratings for companies in various industries and automatically generate different kinds of credit reports in a low cost, objective, fair, efficient and intelligent manner. The software system is applicable for all business enterprises inside China. CBCI's cedit rating system, in conjunction with its credit information database and advanced MIS system, provides the solid support for its authoritative credit investigation services.

In June 2000, at the Beijing forum of "Establishing National Credit Administration Systems", CBCI, as the only attendant from Western China, gained national recognitions and won the name of the "Pearl of the Credit Industry in Western China". CBCI has also successfully completed the project of " The Study of Business Credit Information System", assigned to CBCI by the Chongqing Science Commission. In August 2000, Professor Gu Binglin, the academician from the China Science Academy and the dean of the Graduate School of the Qinghua University, visited CBCI. He believes that CBCI' s credit rating systems and database are at the national top-level in China credit industry. Presently CBCI has accumulated 3 million records of various business credit information and provided services for over 700 enterprises and individual customers. It has so far helped its customers in both minimizing market risks and opening up new markets.

As credit ratings involve both the financial conditions of enterprises and personal behaviors, they play a key role on optimizing the market economic environment, reducing the corporate operating risks, maintaining the social and economic orders, and even on facilitating the E-commerce in the Chongqing area. They are also important for Chongqing to assist the development strategy of China information security technology, and to ensure the security of government network information, the economic information and network media information.
