In addition, the agreement will see benefit from the Equifax's commercial data, helping it establish a strong position in the SME market.
Michael Shannon, managing director of Equifax said, "At Equifax, we have a deep understanding of the pressures facing businesses today. We are, therefore, particularly excited by the use of SMS technology to deliver our commercial credit information to SMEs."
The deal will allow Creditgate.com to bring its customers the most current and valuable data to their desktop and mobile phones.
"Armed with this information, Creditgate.com customers are empowered to make informed business decisions whether they are in the office or on the road," Shannon said.
Creditgate.com provides businesses with instant access to a range of services, including online reports, a trade account facility and a fully automated online account management and billing system.
It claims to be the only company in the UK offering instant SMS access to credit and director information, which means businesses can get information on all UK limited companies sent direct to their mobile phone, anywhere in the world.
The service is targeted at smaller businesses that are often most at risk from bad debt and fraud.
Phil Smith, managing director of Creditgate.com, said: "Creditgate.com's services are designed to help businesses minimise risk and operate best practice. Through our partnership with Equifax, we can offer business credit and company director reports, as well as a monitoring service."
