Knowledge is the most powerful tool for making business decisions when visibility is limited in the volatile small business lending and leasing environment. Quantified knowledge gives financial institutions a substantially greater ability to gauge a situation, establish strategies and direct a more efficient operational plan.

PayNet leverages the extensive breadth and depth of its proprietary database to provide unique insight to the small business credit industry. While the insight may take the form of analytics to characterize trends in the small business credit industry, forward-looking estimates of defaults or comparisons of a business to its peers within the industry, the results are improved knowledge for better decisions.

Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Lending Index

The Small Business Lending Index is a Thomson Reuters/Paynet product available monthly. Based on new commercial loan and lease originations by major lenders in PayNet’s proprietary database, this index measures the volume of loans to small businesses normalized to January 2005. Small businesses generally respond to changes in economic conditions more rapidly than do larger businesses, so this statistic is a leading indicator of the economy.

30/90 Day Delinquency

On a monthly basis, PayNet derives 30+ Day Delinquency and 90+ Day Delinquency rates from its proprietary database of commercial loans and leases. These statistics are important as they reflect the financial health of small businesses through their ability to repay existing obligations.

Small Business Outlook

On a quarterly basis, PayNet produces an outlook of the small business economy. Our Small Business Outlook illuminates the small business economy by presenting the borrowing activity and actual risk behaviors of millions of small U.S. companies. A Risk Outlook provides loan default rates of small businesses for the previous 5 years and utilizes forward risk estimates from PayNet AbsolutePD^®, a probability of default tool.
