In response to increasing interest in the mining industry, Experian® completed a review of the coal, natural gas and oil/petroleum industries, along with their impact on small businesses. Depending on the region of the United States, fossil fuel mining is both increasing and decreasing. With the current changes in these industries, the impact on other industries ranges from an increase in new small businesses to an increase in delinquencies. To understand the nuances of the fossil fuel industry, Experian® conducted a further study on Kentucky, West Virginia and North Dakota was done to analyze the impact that industry changes have on the economy of individual states.
If a new company has not yet established a credit history, many lenders turn to the business owner’s personal credit to evaluate risk. But does personal credit alone paint an accurate picture of a new business’s risk? Is there a more optimal way to determine how creditworthy a young company may be?
To find answers, Experian® randomly selected the credit files of 2.5 million U.S. small-business owners and compared them with the records of 1 million consumers. We then looked at the credit history of both groups, as well as key demographic data such as age, education and income. We also reviewed the number of open trades, delinquencies, bankruptcies and business survival rates. The results of this research are explained in this whitepaper.
