Bringing you increased risk insight into businesses with less than 15 employees

D&B and TransUnion have joined forces to enhance D&B's commercial information and insight with consumer credit data to further enable customers to Decide with Confidence. Commercial Credit Score 8.0 (CCS 8.0) is now available, offering improved predictiveness, especially on micro and small businesses with less than 15 employees.

CCS 8.0 provides a 9% predictive lift when analyzing small business risk. This predictiveness is based largely on the addition of general consumer credit attributes for geographic areas. Analysis shows that for businesses segments with a limited amount of commercial trade references, credit attributes for geographic areas from a consumer credit prospective can be correlated to business credit performance.

These enhancements are part of D&B's continuing commitment to innovation to help our customers make confident decisions to manage their risk.
