The PayNet Small Business Delinquency Index (SBDI) measures the percentage of loans to small businesses that are more than 30 days past due, but less than 91 days past due. Financial institutions consider SBDI an invaluable tool for business planning and operations to provide a more in-depth understanding of financial stress and early warning of future insolvency.
- “Current” — the delinquency rate of small businesses for the most recently reported month, calculated as an index and seasonally adjusted
- “Change” — based on same-month one-year-prior; a higher number indicates greater financial stress
