Many small business owners do not know they can establish and build a credit score for their entity. Business credit is the measure of a business’ financial responsibility and track record of how a business meets it’s financial obligations. It can also be used as an indicator of the business’ financial health and likelihood of paying back debt.
Why do I need Business Credit?
Having strong business credit can be beneficial to the company. For one, it can be used to access credit in times of need which is absolutely critical considering many small businesses fail due to lack of capital. Second, it improves the business’ reputation, leading to strong relationships with suppliers, creditors, distributors, and even landlords.
So how do you set up business credit?
If you already have a business running, request a Dunn’s number from Dunn & Bradstreet. The application is free, and the number is usually delivered within 30 days.
