ProspectVue: Financial Stress Score

What is the Financial Stress Score?

The D&B Financial Stress Score provides predictive insights of the businesses that are most likely to fail within the next 12-18 months. 

Financial Stress Scores are categorized as Low, Medium or High.

• Companies with Low Financial Stress Scores are good candidates for strategic partnerships and expansion leaning incentives.
• Businesses in the Medium category are prime candidates for proactive outreach.
• Often, employers in the High category have already had a layoff event or are starting to take steps to close operations, resulting in a need for Rapid Response or Rapid Re-employment engagement.

When used in combination, the D&B Financial Stress and Material Change Scores can help WDB teams understand the current trajectory as well as the future outlook of businesses in their region.
