LexisNexis Small Business Credit Report with SBFE Data Search

The LexisNexis® Small Business Credit Report with SBFE Data™ is built on both traditional credit histories from the Small Business Financial Exchange (SBFE®) and LexisNexis® Risk Solutions alternative data. The report can help you assess the credit risk of both small businesses with a traditional credit payment history and businesses that do not have a robust credit payment footprint. This non-FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) credit report was developed specifically for SBFE members.
