These powerful scores allow you to proactively address accounts most likely to pose future business risk. Reduce costs and maximize revenue by utilizing Experian's most powerful scores for financial portfolios.
Built for today's economic climate
Small-business risk assessment has never been easy given the scarcity of commercial information that is often available with smaller firms. This problem is compounded as scoring models developed under better economic conditions prove less reliable in today's unprecedented economic environment. Developed based on recent market performance and fueled by exclusive small-business information, Small Business Credit Share portfolio risk scores are highly effective in identifing commercial accounts most likely to become severely delinquent on financial, loan, credit card or retail card payments within the next 12 months.
Refined segmentation, optimum performance
Small Business Credit Share portfolio risk scores provide three model options to maximize portfolio performance:
- The all financial model for broad financial risk across multiple financial products
- Two targeted models to optimize performance on product-specific portfolios:
- Commercial credit card
- Commercial retail credit card
Experia has engineered these scores so that members of the financial services market achieve maximum benefits:
- Bad rate definitions are better aligned with financial portfolio objectives
- Delinquency is predicted for financial product types rather than for the business as a whole
- All models predict severe delinquency over a 12-month performance period
