D&B Failure Score

Making refined, objective and consistent decisions

To evaluate risks objectively and consistently, you need a multitude of business information and analyze it carefully. The D&B Failure Score makes risks visible and is based on the largest possible amount of company information. Its calculation guarantees objectivity and consistency and allows you to reduce your bad debt.

The D&B Failure Score is:

• a percentile score on a 1 to 100 scale, which positions a company relative to all other companies in the D&B database.
• a statistically derived and mathematically calculated score, unique to D&B, that predicts business failure.

Easy to interpret, the D&B Failure Score 1 indicates a good chance of a company being declared bankrupt, the D&B Failure Score 100 indicates a small chance.

The D&B Failure Score in Hungary is calculated based on the following elements:

• General company data: e.g. number of employees, age of the company
• Financial data: e.g. profit- and loss figures, financial ratios
• Payment experiences: e.g. experiences from the D&B Trade Program, debt-collection files.

With the D&B Failure Score you can:
