Understanding the D&B® PAYDEX® Score, SER Rating, and More

A company’s business credit scores and ratings are part of its Live Business Identity in the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud and are designed to help other organizations gauge risk and understand the company’s financial health. The scores and ratings may help businesses in numerous ways: A company can use these analytics when deciding to extend business credit to a customer or to contract with a supplier, a bank can consult a business credit report when deciding to offer a loan, and business owners may use the information in their business credit file to help demonstrate their credibility.
