A little extra boost of data unlocks tremendous opportunity
Small businesses make up about 99% of the U.S. economy1. There's a lot of potential there, but also a lot of unknowns. Fewer than half of small business credit applicants have a traditional credit payment history. Many have no credit footprint at all. You need a bit more information to supplement the traditional credit report and assess the full spectrum of risk.
LexisNexis helps solves the problem with a suite of products that includes payment-performance data from the Small Business Financial Exchange (SBFE®). SBFE is a nonprofit trade association of small business lenders that facilitates the secure, blind exchange of financial data on approximately 24 million U.S. small businesses. Combine this with the unparalleled breadth and depth of LexisNexis Alternative Data and immediately get the big picture. Uncover liens or judgements on the business. See assets that indicate long-term stability and ability to pay. Identify and link individuals associated with the business, past and present. Increase the number of scoreable business prospects as much as 60%, and improve customer segmentation too.
Leverage the power of LexisNexis Alternative Data
With the power of LexisNexis Alternative Data assets and exceptional linking capability, you'll have a significant advantage over creditors who are still struggling to understand small business risk.
LexisNexis Alternative Data is high value information that is aggregated from more than 13,000 sources for business registrations with state and local governments, points of contact, address details, assets, property ownership, firmographics, derogatory public records including bankruptcy, judgements, liens and more.
