Edgeware Analytics, Inc. Launches ScoreEdgeTM to Predict Small Business Loan Risk

SAN DIEGO, California -- July 25, 2005 --  

Edgeware Analytics, an innovative provider of decision tools for small business lenders, has announced the release of ScoreEdge small business loan decision model.   

ScoreEdge is an on-line, real-time decision tool which delivers lenders more accurate approvals of small business loans.  Edgeware Analytics developed the statistical model by analyzing thousands of small business loan applications and their subsequent performance.  The loans came from across the United States and a wide spectrum of industries.  ScoreEdge has been proven effective on conventional and government guaranteed loans alike. 

“Small business lending is an increasingly competitive market and lenders are constantly seeking ways for more accurate risk measurement,” said Dan Shoham, Chief Executive Officer of Edgeware Analytics.  “In developing ScoreEdge, we let the data do the talking.  By analyzing thousands of actual small business loan applications and their subsequent performance, we identified the most predictive elements.  ScoreEdge summarizes this learning in an easy to understand score.  Lenders are then better armed to make more informed decision when it matters most: application time.”

Users access ScoreEdge through a secure website and pay on a per-score-basis - - avoiding the need for expensive software and annual maintenance fees.  When combined with a lender’s current underwriting procedures, ScoreEdge, an empirical model, measurably improves the accuracy of small business credit approvals.  

ScoreEdge is now available through Edgeware Analytics and its partners.  For more information visit: http://www.edgewareanalytics.com/ or 888-672-6730.
