What is the Predictive Score?

The report includes a business credit score – the Predictive Score. The scoring model was designed to predict late payments and severe delinquency, looking forward 6 months. The predictive variables include current aging status, historical aging (including trends and variance in payment trends) and forty other business characteristics.

The report also includes summary graphs for two years of delinquency percentage and a year of DBT (days beyond terms). These clearly illustrate payment patterns.

As available, your NACM National Trade Credit Report may also contain Alerts, public record, and corporate data.

Finally. A credit report for businesses by businesses!

Business credit managers know about business credit. They are masters at assessing the creditworthiness of their customers, which is the key to predicting whether the credit sale will be paid timely and in full.
