Creditlinker
The Creditlinker Engine

From raw financial data
to verified
financial identity.

Creditlinker pulls in your real banking, ledger, and operational data. It cleans, categorizes, and reconciles it, then scores six independent financial health dimensions that capital providers use to evaluate your business on how it actually operates.

Your journey to
a verified financial identity.

Six steps from signing up to receiving capital offers. Most businesses complete steps 1–3 in under 10 minutes.

Bank + ledger + operational dataNo collateral required6 independent dimensionsRevocable consent
1

Create your business account

Register with your business name and basic details. Creditlinker generates a persistent financial identity (anchored to your business, not just an individual login) that builds and versions over time.

2

Connect your financial data sources

Link your bank accounts, upload accounting ledger exports, or add operational data such as equipment, inventory, and contract records. The more sources you connect, the richer and more credible your identity.

3

Pipeline and feature store update automatically

Our engine processes, categorizes, and reconciles your data. A dedicated financial feature store computes 40+ derived metrics: monthly revenue growth, operating margin, cash reserve ratio, receivable turnover, and expense ratios. These are stored and versioned so scoring models never recalculate from scratch.

4

Receive your six-dimensional financial identity

Your identity is scored across six independent dimensions: Revenue Stability, Cashflow Predictability, Expense Discipline, Liquidity Strength, Financial Consistency, and Risk Profile, each on a 0 to 100 scale. A separate data quality score indicates how reliable the underlying data is. No compression into a single number.

5

Grant consent to matched capital providers

Creditlinker anonymously matches your profile to financers, equipment financiers, trade suppliers, and revenue financiers whose criteria fit your dimensions. You decide exactly which providers can see which data, for how long. Revoke anytime. Every access is logged.

6

Review and accept capital offers

Matched providers review your verified identity against their own criteria and create structured offers. You compare terms, accept the best fit, and the financing record is created on-platform with full provenance.

Under the hood

Revenue Stability

85

How consistent and predictable revenue inflows are over time. Measures growth trends, seasonal patterns, and income regularity across the analysis window.

Cashflow Predictability

78

How reliably the business generates positive operating cash flow. Tracks inflow-to-outflow ratios and identifies negative cash cycles.

Expense Discipline

81

How well operating costs are controlled relative to revenue. Identifies runaway expense patterns, margin compression, and unusual debit spikes.

Liquidity Strength

74

The level of cash reserves and financial buffers available. Measures the business's capacity to absorb short-term financial obligations without distress.

Financial Consistency

88

How complete and regular the business's financial activity and reporting patterns are. Rewards businesses with continuous, well-structured financial data.

Risk Profile

91

Detects anomalies, irregular behavior, and risk signals in financial activity. A high score means clean, predictable patterns with no red flags.

Plus a separate data quality score

Every identity carries a data_quality_score indicating how reliable the underlying data is — so capital providers know exactly how much confidence to place in each dimension.

Consent model

No capital provider sees any part of your financial identity without your explicit, time-bounded grant. You define the permission scope, set the expiry, and can revoke instantly. Every access event is logged in an immutable audit trail.

Permission-level control

Grant score-only, full identity, or transaction detail — independently per provider. Mix and match based on your comfort level.

Time-bounded expiry

Every grant has a hard expiry date. Access ends automatically at 7, 30, or 90 days. No manual cleanup required.

Instant revocation

Revoke any provider's access in one action. They lose visibility immediately, in real time.

Immutable audit log

Every data access is logged with actor, timestamp, and action type. You always know exactly who saw what and when.
