Beyond the Traditional Credit Report for Better Small Business Decisioning

Historically, the credit report has been the foundational product that financial institutions and other credit-issuers have used to assess an applicant’s creditworthiness. But finding accurate and applicable small business data can be challenging, because many small businesses have a limited credit footprint. As a result, locating relevant information on the business can feel like an incomplete and inefficient data chase. And despite advances with analytics and automated decisioning, financial institutions continue to require data that human analysts can view and assess. Bankers rely on credit reports in their processes today and will continue to into the future.

The LexisNexis® Small Business Credit Score Report delivers unmatched decisioning insight by combining more than 10,000 sources of alternative data with advanced analytics and linking to decision no-file and thin-file applicants with confidence. Leverage this report in account origination, underwriting, account and portfolio management, exception processing, onboarding and term optimization to grow your small and mid-sized business segment while minimizing risk.

Combined these are estimated to include more than 90% of the total US business population.
  • The Small Business Credit Score Report is available online via the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Insight and Risk Management Solutions (RMS) portals.
