Assess the Creditworthiness of Small Businesses Using Alternative Data

Drive portfolio growth while managing risk.

Small businesses are often called the backbone of the U.S. economy. And for good reason. The U.S. has approximately 30 million small businesses. They comprise 99.9% of all U.S. businesses.1 For lenders, they represent opportunity, but it’s not without risk.

Small businesses are often self-funded in the startup phase. With little or no borrowing history, lenders may not be able to look to traditional data sources to assess a small business’s creditworthiness. It’s not surprising they’re hesitant to take a chance on small businesses when they can’t find any information about them.

The LexisNexis® Small Business Credit Report fills that gap. It uses alternative data sources to fill in the blanks that traditional data sources may not be able to. It provides a clearer view for decisioning on business:

  • Account origination
  • Underwriting
  • Exception-processing activities
  • Term optimization
  • Account and portfolio management

By removing guesswork from the equation, lenders can feel more confident in expanding their portfolio to better support small business customers who show good growth potential.
