MicroBilt’s new blog, forum and newsletter will expand its engagement with customers and other small business owners on topics that affect small business, such as credit and collections issues, identity theft and fraud, the opportunities and challenges of serving the credit-underserved and underbanked, the benefits of payment reporting for businesses and consumers, tenant screening and landlord-tenant issues, and best practices for identity verification and credit reporting in the alternative financial services such as payday lending, check cashing, pre-paid products, etc.

“We help small businesses across the country manage risk in many different industries – auto, retail, banking, financial services, property management, debt collection, legal and accounting."

Each type of business uses a different mix of products to serve different jobs and to achieve different desired outcomes. So it requires a different mix of communications to keep our customers informed of new challenges and new opportunities,” according to Brian Bradley, EVP of Strategy and Marketing at MicroBilt. "Our experience of engaging our customers and other small businesses through social networks and more traditional methods have made us pay far closer attention to what our customers want and how they choose to engage with us. The new blog, newsletter and forum are just our latest tools to interact with our customers and our market and to share information that will help small business customers manage and grow their businesses.”
