Credit scores have been in use for many years; primarily, in the consumer credit field.

Red Book Scores, our proprietary scoring system developed by Red Book Lumber Data, are assigned to listed companies who buy lumber and lumber products.  A score predicts the likelihood of a negative credit event — default or delinquent on payment — within a 12 month period of time.

A powerful tool for sellers, Red Book Scores complement a company’s rating and comprehensive business report. Scores range between 500 and 999, with 999 being the highest score.  Higher scores represent a less likely credit event – delinquent or default on payment — will occur.  The lower the score, the more likely a company will be delinquent or default on payment.

Red Book Scores are available on the Red Book Lumber Data website and optimized for mobile usage.  A graphical display of how a company’s Red Book Score is trending is provided on the Red Book Lumber Data website, in the Business Report or by contacting a customer service representative.

Red Book Scores – one more way to help you make informed and confident business decisions!
