Lumos PRIME+ Score

The Lumos PRIME+ scoring model improves underwriting efficiency and provides a more accurate and fairer risk assessment for small business loans less than $500 thousand. The Lumos PRIME+ score:

  • Incorporates three decades of small business performance data through multiple economic cycles and reacts with changing economic environments
  • Employs factors that actually impact small business performance rather than relying on consumer credit scores or business credit history
  • Utilizes cutting-edge machine learning algorithms
  • Predicts expected credit losses over the next twelve months
  • Is rigorously validated through back testing, stress testing, and testing against challenger models to ensure accurate and stable performance.

Lumos PRIME+ significantly outperforms competing models’ accuracy allowing lenders to approve more loans to small businesses. Finally, there is a solution for banks to more completely serve their small business clients.
