The Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Delinquency Index (SBDI) is designed to gauge small business financial stress and default risk, providing early warning signals of future insolvency across multiple sectors of the economy.

The SBDI serves as a leading indicator of changes in unemployment rates on both the national level and for some states while also providing insight to financial services executives, economists, policy makers and regulators in order to understand the stage of the business cycle and to set credit oversight policies.
