  • It’s a real-time business risk score that helps you assess SMB creditworthiness, even when there’s not much financial history to go on. We use signals like operational activity, inquiry patterns, industry profile, and web presence to give you a fast, data-rich and actionable read on risk.

  • It plugs right into your onboarding and decisioning engine to give you a clear risk signal upfront. That means faster approvals, fewer manual reviews, and more confident automation, without the guesswork.

  • Most business credit scores lag behind or miss early-stage and thin-file businesses entirely. Baselayer’s Risk Rating updates in real time with industry-leading data freshness and coverage, flagging legal and operational risk even when credit data is limited or unavailable.

  • Many SMBs don’t show up on traditional credit models. Risk Rating helps you evaluate them anyway using public records, web activity, and shared fraud signals, so you can say yes more often without increasing risk.

  • Absolutely. Each score comes with a clear breakdown of the factors that influenced it, so your team always knows what’s driving the result.

  • We pull from public records, business registrations, digital footprint data (like domains and websites), and fraud signals from over 2,200 financial institutions to give you a complete picture of business risk.
