Unleashing growth with small business lending and credit

Join experts from Alloy, Enigma and Experian as they discuss overcoming challenges with SMB lending against the current economic backdrop, small business fraud trends, and industry shifts.

Recorded on July 13, 2023

Fraud attempts targeting lenders of small- and medium-sized businesses have surged since 2021. While losses due to fraud have decreased as a percentage of revenue, they still remain higher than pre-pandemic levels. Join our webinar as we explore this evolving landscape and delve into the world of SMB lending, covering different financial products and services available today.

You’ll hear from experts about:

  • Financial product exploration: Discover the various options for SMBs, including term loans, equipment financing, lines of credit, invoice financing, and more. We'll delve into which ones are truly beneficial and preferred by SMBs.
  • Overcoming lending challenges: Learn effective strategies to increase SMB lending in traditionally underserved areas without compromising risk profiles. Explore the integration of alternative credit factors to enhance applicant data and move away from credit scores and income-based decisioning.
  • The impact of economic shifts: Rising interest rates have made accessing credit a challenge, especially for individuals with lower credit scores. We'll examine new underwriting models that can extend credit to these businesses and individuals, presenting opportunities for fintech lenders.

Join us as we navigate through fraud trends, uncover the evolving landscape of SMB lending, and identify the implications of industry shifts.
