There are three different business scores available on the Markaaz Dashboard:
Built off a multi-faceted consumer viewpoint of credit, Equifax Risk Score is designed to help predict the likelihood of your business becoming 90+ days delinquent within 24 months.
It provides a rank-ordered risk perspective to support informed credit decisions for your business. It also lets your partners know your risk exposure. The Equifax BCRS for Assorted Verticals returns a score to measure the risk of a business becoming severely delinquent to a credit grantor within a 12-month period.
Businesses are assigned a value ranging from 224 to 580, with high values indicating lower chances of severe delinquency.
The Equifax Business Credit Risk Class (BCRC) for Assorted Verticals is a high-level representation of the Equifax Business Credit Risk Scoring System for Assorted Verticals. Businesses are grouped into 5 risk classes ranging from 1 to 5 based on the score.
Equifax Business Credit Score, normally bundled as part of the Equifax Business Credit Report, predicts the likelihood of a business’s financial trades becoming severely delinquent, 91 or more days past due or worse including charge-offs, within the 12 months following account origination to any financial credit grantor.
Your small business credit score will certainly drive the revolving credit you could have as a business owner. With Equifax’s scores, we have access to different databases and proprietary data sources, and we outscore the competition by anywhere from eight to 16%.
So getting access to Equifax scores in the Markaaz Dashboard gives small businesses important insight ahead of critical credit applications.
